How do people with disabilities in Indiana rate their community’s implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)? ADA-Indiana is conducting a survey to answer this question.

The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law on July 26, 1990. Thirty years have passed for communities to remove physical, programmatic, and attitudinal barriers that prevent people with disabilities from becoming active participating citizens. A great deal of progress has been made, but there is still a need for further compliance.

The ADA at 30 Survey asks Indiana citizens to identify how they view their communities’ attention to accessibility. Additionally, the survey provides an opportunity for respondents to provide opinions and ideas about how accessibility can be improved. Upon completion of the survey, the Center for Health Equity at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community will work with ADA-Indiana, Indiana’s Statewide Steering Committee for the Implementation of the ADA, to incorporate the findings into their planning and training efforts.

The online survey is available until September 21, 2020. To complete the survey, go to: https://iu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3C9rwJxkWi7WJdX
