The Most Important Cases Since the ADA was Passed 25 Years Ago

Since the ADA was passed in 1990, a number of significant cases have been decided by the courts that have shaped how the ADA has been interpreted and implemented. To commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the ADA, we will take a look back at the most influential ADA cases by first reviewing the facts and ruling of these cases, and then discussing the broader impact these cases have had. This webinar promises to cover a wide variety of ADA issues under Titles I, II and III.

Barriers to employment, transportation, public accommodations, public services, and telecommunications have imposed staggering economic and social costs on American society and have undermined our well-intentioned efforts to educate, rehabilitate, and employ individuals with disabilities. This session will discuss tools available for young adults for successful transition to the work environment. Attending participants will learn about the free, Punch-In Self-Directed resource sponsored by the Great Lakes ADA Center.


Application of the ADA and ABA Accessibility Standards

The ADA and ABA Accessibility Standards apply to a wide range of facilities in the public and private sectors and specify which elements and spaces must be accessible.
