ADA Requirements: Equitable & Inclusive Engagement Considerations for Your Community



As you work to improve digital engagement efforts in your community, inclusiveness has never been more important, especially among marginalized groups like those living with disabilities. Residents living with disabilities in your community deserve your distinct consideration when developing an accessible engagement strategy. 
 
It can be daunting to understand--and incorporate--government-sanctioned Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) design standards, especially when getting it wrong can mean costly fines, penalties, or lawsuits. This is the last chance to join Granicus for a complimentary webinar and hear Geoff Ames, an ADA accessibility expert, provide insight on how to develop a compliant engagement strategy for people living with a range of disabilities, including blindness, low-vision, deafness, and limited manual mobility.
 
Specifically, this session will cover: 
  • The requirements of the ADA - regulations, standards, and best practices
  • Public notice and other administrative content required on websites
  • How to evaluate and identify both physical and operational accessibility barriers to government services and meetings
  • The aids and services needed to provide effective, equitable communication for all people
 
In addition, how to provide accessible platforms for: 
  • Program registration and interactive content
  • Equal employment opportunities
