Workshop & Event Registration v2.0

NOTE: THIS WORKSHOP DOES NOT SUPPLEMENT MANDATORY ADA COMPLIANCE TRAINING AND WILL NOT CREDIT FOR "ADA" COMPLIANCE TRAINING PROGRAM

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law in 1990. The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. The ADA gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities similar to those provided to individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, age, and religion. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, state and local government services, and telecommunications. ADA compliance is essential in today’s litigious environment. STARLINK presents an informative overview of various aspects of ADA compliance, moderated by David Wood, including: ADA Law, Access Checker, Alt Tag, Descriptive Links, Table Description, Table Header Row, Headings, Bulleted Lists, Blank Space, and Text Color.

ACC Faculty and Staff are able to access online workshops on a wide smorgasbord of STARLINK trainings.
