A program about understanding the American with Disabilities Act..
Program Objectives
The ADA Revisited is intended to inform managers and other employees about the opportunities and legal responsibilities organizations and individuals face under the Americans with Disabilities Act. It is an excellent way to allay fears and misconceptions about the ADA while sensitizing employees to the benefits of a diverse workforce that includes
persons with different abilities.
Program Contents
The ADA Revisited (24 minutes) combines analysis of the ADA by a team of legal experts as well as interviews with employees with disabilities and their managers to provide a balanced view of
the impact of the ADA in today's workplaces. We examine the law's requirements regarding interviewing and hiring practices, what constitutes equal access to employment benefits and training, how to determine the "essential functions" of a job, as well as what "reasonable
accommodations" are and when they are needed.
Support Materials
The ADA Revisited comes with a comprehensive facilitation package that includes a training
guide with course outlines for shorter or more complete training, reproducible handouts, and a
Questions & Answers publication from the US Department of Justice and the EEOC.
