The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) makes it possible for everyone with a disability to live a life of freedom and equality. This includes all aspects of life—employment, public accommodations, state and local government, transportation, and telecommunications. It is estimated that about 57 million Americans have a disability. Additionally, Americans face the challenge of a rapidly aging Baby Boomer population, which includes 76 million people over the age of 65, many of whom will acquire age-related disabilities.
This webinar will explore what all health care professionals need to know about the accessibility needs of persons with disabilities. The Title III - Public Accommodations of the Americans with Disabilities Act will be discussed in addition to usage of proper Disability Etiquette Terminology. The webinar will also review Covid-19 Provisions under the ADA.
