Local Government and ADA Title II Responsibilities

As we approach the 33rd anniversary of the passage of the ADA it is a good time to reflect on where we have come and where we still need to go in terms of ensuring that our programs, services and activities are accessible to persons with disabilities. Join this session where we will review the 5 administrative requirements under the ADA for local governments and review the most common myths regarding the ADA and local government.
