I am creating a publication. What wording do I need to add about accommodating people with disabilities in order to be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?
You must make it clear that accommodations can be made for people with disabilities. For example, you might include a statement such as, “If you have a disability or need assistance, arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs.” You must also list phone numbers that people can call to arrange such accommodations. The phone number you list depends on the audience you’re reaching with the publication: For student-oriented programs, you should list Disability Services forStudents, (574) 237-4479. For employee programs, you should list University Human Resource Services, (574) 237-4358. For faculty programs, you should list Dean of the Faculties, (574)237-4183. If the program is aimed at the general public or you have further questions about wording, please contact the Office of Affirmative Action.
