Entertainment Access– Your rights as a person with a disability to have a pint at a pub, rock’n’roll, break the bank at the casino, watch another sequel, ruin a walk, and other time wasters.

Abstract

What are your rights as person with a disability choosing an entertainment option today? When visiting a bar or night club to listen to music what are your rights?  If you play golf, videogames, or consider gambling your game, can you access the facilities that offer these distractions, and if you can what accommodations can you expect? What are your rights at the opera, an outdoor concert, or at a temporary event like a fair or circus performance? These answers and more will be revealed in this presentation on the impact of the Americans with Disabilities Act on venues of entertainment. Additionally, the impact of the new accessibility guidelines (ADA/ABA AG or “attabag”) will be discussed.

Aaron encourages questions to be sent in well before the presentation.  If you have a question about the ADA and entertainment venues or accommodations, please send your email to Aaron directly at j.aaron.mccullough+entertainment@gmail.com.  He will likely include whatever relevant questions are sent into the presentation, and will answer all that time allows.
