COMMUNITY SERVICES
Accessibility Audits
Since the passage of ADA, Environmental Barriers Act (EBA), and the Illinois Accessibility Code, new construction, additions, and renovations of both publicly and privately owned facilities are required to be accessible. To meet this requirement, our center provides onsite accessibility audits of facilities upon business request.
Onsite Accessibility Audits of private and publicly owned facilities are provided upon request.
Public Education/Outreach
The center provides information to the community on independent living issues and concerns affecting persons with disabilities through presentations, workshops, a newsletter, a website and other use of media.
Disability Awareness Presentations
Advocates for Access staff can provide disability awareness presentations and sensitivity training to schools, businesses, civic organizations, health care professionals, and others to educate about disability related issues, break down stereotypes and promote inclusion.
