September 23, 2:30 - 4:00 p.m. ET Free Webinar: Preparing Physicians to Care for People with Disabilities: Core Competencies and the ADA

This is a free webinar offered through the Healthcare and the ADA-Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities Webinar Series, hosted by the Pacific ADA Center.

Excerpt from the Pacific ADA Center:

People with disabilities represent over 20 percent of the American population. Like other marginalized groups, people with disabilities have significant health disparities and face barriers to health care. Despite the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act over thirty years ago, health care providers report being unprepared and uncomfortable treating patients with disabilities. To address this training gap, people with disabilities partnered with disability researchers, health educators, and healthcare advocates to create a list of six essential competencies to providing quality health care to patients with disabilities. Addressing core disability competencies in health care education will prepare the future healthcare workforce to provide quality healthcare to all patients.

Free webinar but registration is required. To Register:  http://adapresentations.org/healthcare/schedule.php


September 28, 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. ET Free Webinar - The Civil Rights Complaint Portal: An Accessibility Journey

This is a free webinar offered through the Great Lakes ADA Center on behalf of the federal partners.

From the Great Lakes ADA Center:  This webinar session will provide an overview by staff from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and 18-F at the General Services Administration (GSA) on a collaborative effort to improve accessibility and user experience of DOJ’s Civil Rights Reporting Portal. In this webinar, project team members from DOJ and 18F will review their collaborative efforts to improve the functionality of the external user interface and the data collected and increase analysis and response efficiency. The enhanced site models accessibility for persons with disabilities, and the team continues to ensure that new features are vetted for accessibility.

The session will not go into technical details and will not require knowledge of coding or technical language.
