Great Lakes Webinars

The ADA Audio Conference Series provides in-depth information on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This program is designed to enhance an individual's existing knowledge base or facilitate continued learning regarding regulations and trends under the ADA.

Participating in the Audio Conference can support professional development of an individual, an entire department or an entire agency. We encourage entities to invite individuals, co-workers, or community partners, to participate at your site and increase participation. Site coordinators can use the time following each session to debrief on the subject, facilitate discussion of their agency's ADA compliance program and dialogue "where do we go from here?" to improve the agency's response to the ADA.

The ADA Legal Webinar Series is a collaborative training program between the Great Lakes ADA and the Southwest ADA. This program is designed for individuals who have a working knowledge of the ADA and are familiar with its basic elements. Sessions are intended to support continued learning and focus on the knowledge that has been gained since the implementation of the law in terms of how the federal agencies and the courts are interpreting the law and subsequent regulations.

ADAOnline2020 was series of sessions that were originally slated to be presented at the 2020 National ADA Symposium in Kansas City, MO. Due to the pandemic, the Symposium was cancelled. In order to assist individuals who were pursing the ADA Coordinator Training Certification Program (ACTCP) the Great Lakes and Great Plains ADA Centers offered a series of programs virtually during the months of April through July 2020 and again in September through October 2020. The sessions represent many of the Foundation/Core credits associated with the ADA Coordinator Training Certification Program (ACTCP).

All sessions were recorded and available for viewing in the Archives Section at https://www.accessibilityonline.org/adaonline2020/archives/
