New Discounts Now Available for ADA Training

For Immediate Distribution

Dear Friends and Colleagues:
 
The Center for Disability Empowerment still has time to receive registrations for our upcoming ADA workshops on October 27th, 2017. We are now extending our discount registration to all non-profits, including state and local governments.

Previous registration fees were $250 per session with a $100 discount for attending both sessions. By expanding our non-profit rate to larger size non-profits and state and local government entities, registration is available for $125 per session. Now you can attend both sessions for $250!

Because it is also Disability Employment Awareness Month, we are extending the discount registration to the first 10 employers that contact us by this Monday, October 23rd. Hurry and get both of our sessions for $250 before we fill all of our spots!

The Center for Disability Empowerment Presents:
October ADA & Technology Workshops 
 
Educate your staff with two ADA and Technology Workshops
To help your staff understand employment rights, technology, disability and universal design, The Center for Disability Empowerment offers two presentations to keep your organization accessible and compliant.
 
Employment Trends & the ADA 
10/27/2017 9:30 A.M – 12:30 P.M.
Presented by L. Scott Lissner, ADA Coordinator, The Ohio State University
 
An overview of the employment provisions will provide a foundation for an examination of enforcement trends by the courts, federal, and state agencies. Using scenarios drawn from the real world, the presenter will explore key concepts, practical approaches, and policy models.  Participants will:

• Understand the business model for diversity & disability
• Describe best practices in the application, interview & offer stages
• Know how to respond to disability disclosure by employees
• Navigate the intersection of Family Medical Leave and the ADA
• Evaluate accommodation requests and essential job functions
• Implement accommodations from providing adaptive equipment to extension of leave and reassignment.
• Manage the corrective action process when disability is an added dimension

Access in a Digital World 
10/27/2017 1:30 – 4:30 P.M.
Presented by Peter Bossley, Director of the Ohio State University’s Digital Accessibility Center and L. Scott Lissner, ADA Coordinator, The Ohio State University.
              
As we rely on websites, mobile applications, and social media, to interact with consumers, employees, businesses and students, accessible information technology can be overlooked.  A review of the regulatory environment will be followed by an overview of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. Attendees will receive hands on advice and resources for building a customer friendly, accessible website.

• Regulatory overview: OCR, DOJ, ADA Title II and III

• De facto standard over time defined as WCAG 2.0 at conformance level AA
• Goal of WCAG: functional accessibility and usability, not mere technical accessibility
• Layers of guidance – principles, guidelines, success criteria
• In practice: overview of disability types and functional needs

• Motor and speech disabilities
• Visual disabilities
• Auditory disabilities
• Cognitive disabilities

• Tools and resources                                      

 
REGISTRATION & PRICING:

• Each half-day workshop is offered for a remarkably affordable price of $250. 
• If your organization purchases a seat in both, you receive a $100 discount and pay only $400 for the day. Until October 23rd, 2017 we have a reduced price of $125 per person for the first 10 employers to register.
• Ohio-based nonprofits including state and local governments, $125 per person / per session.
