This is a free webinar offered through a collaboration of the U.S. Access Board, the Great Lakes ADA Center, and the ADA National Network.
From the Great Lakes ADA Center: Accessibility guidelines and standards issued under the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Fair Housing Act, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act apply to residential dwelling units to ensure these facilities are accessible to people with disabilities. These laws, guidelines, and standards can be difficult to understand and lead to confusion for many design professionals, lawyers, and citizens. This session will clarify these laws and their application in the ADA and ABA Accessibility Guidelines for residential facilities. Presenters from the U.S. Access Board and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will review differences between Title II and III of the ADA and the ABA, as well as their overlap with HUD’s 504 regulations of the Rehabilitation Act. Additionally, presenters will highlight accessible design and construction requirements under the Fair Housing Act that apply broadly to most multifamily housing. The session will also cover scoping and technical requirements in the ADA and ABA Accessibility Guidelines for work surfaces, turning space, accessible routes, reach ranges, and windows in residential dwelling units.

This is a free webinar offered through the Great Lakes ADA Center on behalf of the ADA National Network.
From Great Lakes ADA Center: We live in times where automation technology occupies nearly every part of our lives. There is an app for everything! We can order virtually anything we want on-demand and have it delivered almost immediately. We want things, we want them now, and we want them without giving any thought into the automated process that makes it all happen. This “AI” technology is already used in the workplace behind the scenes to make employees “more efficient” with fewer mistakes as well as in recruitment screening processes. The technology and robotic tedium that makes “buy it now” click purchasing so efficient is now attached to human employees behind the scenes--allegedly making what is already a streamlined process even more efficient. The fact that this “artificial intelligence” has been implemented by employers has sparked an epic debate over efficiency, privacy, employment law concerns, and employee morale. Join us as we discuss legal updates relating to the widespread adoption of “artificial intelligence” technology and its intersection with the civil rights of people with disabilities. We will explore the impact of AI technology on government and businesses and how the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) may or may not protect individuals from inadvertent or intentional discrimination caused by computer algorithms created to weed out inefficiency and increase profits. This legal webinar will review applicable law including statutes, case law, and Federal enforcement efforts.
