The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law by George W. Bush on July 26, 1990. This means the law is now 35 years old! To start off the month, we encourage you to join local organizations in a statewide month-long celebration of the ADA’s anniversary. On July 1st, GCPD will host a free training on ADA accommodations in the workplace.
Title I of the ADA requires employers with 15 or more employees to provide qualified individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to benefit from the full range of employment-related opportunities available to others. These employers are required to do this mostly by providing reasonable accommodations when requested.
The accommodations process can be challenging because there is a wide range of disabilities and potential accommodations while employers are given a lot of discretion with their business operations. When considering recent evolutions in employment, such as gig work and telework, people are now learning new ways to include accommodations. With the addition of new technology such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), we will continue to see many more changes in how people use accommodations in the new work environment.
Join the ADA celebration and learn more about reasonable accommodations at work! In this webinar, GCPD will provide information on the accommodation process, including addressing what has changed, and share how to stay up to date with accommodations.
Webinar Date/Time: July 1, 2025, at 10:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M.
Webinar Registration Link: Zoom Webinar
Presenter: Matt Dickens, GCPD Accessibility and Disability Rights Coordinator
ASL Interpreters and Captioning will be provided. To request other accommodations, please contact [email protected].
