Hampton Inn Conference Center | 42 Lower Mountain View Drive
Colchester, VT 05446

Directions
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has many complexities for employers to be compliant with the federally mandated law. There are many considerations when administering ADA such as, what to ask during interviews, how to deal with reasonable accommodation requests and how about when you have a blend of FMLA, Workers’ Compensation and other applicable laws?
This course will cover:
- Basic requirements & best practices
- Who’s protected and who’s not?
- What is a Reasonable Accommodation?
- What exactly is “reasonable”?
- Documentation requirements
- Interaction with ADA and other applicable laws
- Utilization of local resources; the VT Assistive Technology Program
In addition to learning the ins and outs of the ADA, we will also learn about local resources available to you. The Vermont Assistive Technology Program (VATP) is Vermont’s Federal AT Act Program. The AT Act programs operate under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services: Administration for Community Living.
The AT Act Programs help individuals of all ages find accessible solutions to overcome barriers at home, work, and in the community as related to disability and aging related needs. VATP is managed by the State Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living (DAIL) and partners with the Center on Disability and Community Inclusion (CDCI) at the University of Vermont. CDCI operates three regional AT Tryout Centers and provides AT Services to Vermonters across the state where we provide information and hands-on experiences with Assistive Technology. Assistive Technology encompasses a broad range of solutions: from $2 Ikea extended shoehorns to iPad apps to complex computer input systems that utilize eye movement to type.
We will have samples of technology and examples from the VTA available for you to tryout at this program!
