Accessibility Management in Parks, Recreation and Tourism

Portland, Oregon
June 22-25, 2010

A comprehensive accessibility management program is the key to success 
for park and recreation agencies. This NCA training course is designed 
to give accessibility coordinators in parks and recreation a broad 
perspective and foundation for implementing an accessibility management 
program. This course is ideal for professionals with newly appointed 
responsibilities and for those looking to brush up on the latest 
information for accessibility compliance. Sessions will include 
discussions of the characteristics and needs of people with 
disabilities, legislative mandates and litigation, accessibility 
standards and common errors, the application of universal design to 
park and recreation environments, program access, considerations for 
conducting accessibility assessments, visitor use and marketing, and 
comprehensive planning. Examples and best practices in accessibility 
management will be presented throughout the sessions. A field exercise 
will give participants an opportunity to practice conducting an 
accessibility assessment along with discussing considerations for 
prioritization of physical and programmatic barrier removal.


2.4 CEUs are available.
