ADA Survey How do people with disabilities in Ohio rate their community's implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act? ADA-OHIO, in conjunction with the Great Lakes Disability Business Technical Assistance Center (DBTAC), is conducting "The ADA in Your Community" Survey to find out the answer to this question. The Americans with Disabilities Act (the ADA) was signed into law in 1990 - twenty years have passed for communities to remove physical, programmatic, and attitudinal barriers that prevent people with disabilities from becoming active participating citizens. A great deal of progress has been made, but there is still need for further compliance. "The ADA in Your Community" Survey asks citizens to identify how they view their community's current implementation. There is also opportunity for them to provide opinions and ideas about how accessibility can be improved. People with disabilities, their family members, and their advocates are invited to complete the ADA Survey so that their voices are heard when accessibility issues are being addressed in their communities. The Survey is available online at: HTTP://www.TheADASurvey.org <http://www.theadasurvey.org/> . Print copies and alternative formats are available on request. To request the ADA Survey in an alternative format, or for additional information, contact L. Scott Lissner by phone: (614) 292-6207 or e-mail: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> .
