On January 6, 2009, AHEAD’s newsletter published “Get Ready for Disability Rights Changes in 2009 – or Not?” It’s the first in my series of articles “AHEAD of the ADA Access Curve,” intended to assist disability service providers, ADA Coordinators, and others in promoting compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, section 504, and the Fair Housing Act. The series approaches physical access and related issues as key to the civil rights of individuals with disabilities. It is intended to provide some helpful tools in a time of shifting requirements and shrinking resources.
The second article, published in May 2009, is “A New Day for the ADA? What to expect from the Department of Justice in regulations and enforcement.” It points to signs that we will see final regulations before the end of the year, and indications of stepped-up enforcement from DOJ.
The ALERT newsletter is available only to members of AHEAD, but my articles are reprinted here for you!
