ADA Audio Conference Series
The ADA Audio Conference Series provides in-depth information on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Accessible Information Technology and other related topics. This program is designed as a springboard to enhance an individual's existing knowledge base or facilitate continued learning regarding regulations and trends under the ADA.
The Audio Conference Series offers a monthly 90-minute, subject-specific session with an interactive opportunity for questions and answers. Each session is delivered via telephone, real-time streaming text and audio via the Internet. In addition to the live conference, individuals can access previous session's transcripts and audio recording in the archive section of the website.
Education credits/certificates are available for many of the sessions. A certificate of attendance is available upon request once actual attendance/participation is documented.
The ADA Audio Conference Series is a collaborative project of the ADA and IT Technical Assistance Centers (Disability and Business Technical Assistance Centers). The ADA and IT Technical Assistance Centers are grant funded by the U.S. Department of Education through the auspices of the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR).
