& Business Technical Assistance Centers |
The ADA Partner's Project is a
cooperative effort of the Disability & Business Technical Assistance
Centers and Access Alaska. The purpose of the Partner's Project is to provide
expert in-depth advise for implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Partner's Project maintains a statewide
network of community based experts, most of whom experience disabilities, to
provide interpretive guidance and training for business and local government.
ADA Partners are familiar with the unique difficulties that are faced by
Alaskans in complying with the ADA. Local governments can receive interpretive
guidance in providing program access that complies with the ADA. Partners are
trained to provide assistance in developing a Transition Plan that will
systematically address the removal of physical barriers to accessibility. Business owners can receive technical assistance
in meeting their barrier removal responsibilities. Partners are available to
help with compliance surveys that will identify barriers that prevent access
to the facility. Partners are trained to review your compliance plans to
insure that access priorities are met and the highest level of access
possible is attained. Employers can receive training on how to provide
an accessible workplace. ADA Partners' can assist employers in providing
reasonable accommodation that will allow a valued employee with a disability
to remain on the job. Individuals with disabilities and disability
organizations can receive training to help understand the rights and
responsibilities that come with ADA protection. Contact
