Description:

With the rise of drive-by ADA lawsuits in the United States, it is incumbent upon business owners and operators alike to ensure ADA compliance within their organizations. Title III prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in the activities of places of public accommodations and requires newly constructed or altered places of public accommodation—as well as commercial facilities to comply with the ADA Standards.

This course provides in-depth guidance on the ADA accessibility standards so that students of this course are properly equipped to inspect, assess, and make improvements to your facility to prevent future ADA litigation. This course also discusses the rise of drive-by and surf-by ADA lawsuits and provides case studies with which to better understand precedent-setting case law.

Upon successful completion of this topic, the student will have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to:

• Understand the applicability of ADA Title II and III regulations to private employers
• Interpret ADA Accessibility guidelines to ensure compliance within your organization
