The ADA National Network provides several webinar series that are available at no cost. These training webinars provide training on specialized areas including legal, accessible technology, built environment, healthcare, and emergency preparedness.
If you have a question about your rights or obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, call the Great Lakes ADA Center: (800) 949-4232.
The sessions are free, but registration is required. While ADA-Indiana does not coordinate the webinar sessions, we are big fans so we would be happy to answer any questions you might have about the webinar sessions. (The caveat is that the information will be based on our own experience.)
The webinars are delivered using popular platforms such as Blackboard Collaborate and Zoom. As you might expect, close attention is paid to the accessibility of the webinars including live captioning, materials in alternative formats, and other accommodations upon request
Feel free to contact ADA-Indiana staff by phone at (812) 855-6508 or by email: adainfo@indiana.edu if you have any questions about the registration process or if you are interested in accessing a particular topic in the archives.
