To find out about the ADA, there are several toll-free numbers you can call. The U.S. Dept. of Justice Civil Rights Division ADA Information Line is 1-800-514-0301 (voice) or 1-800-514-0383 (TDD). You can also get information from Disability Rights, Education and Defense Fund (DREDF) by calling 1-800-466-4232 (voice or TTY). Or you can call Pacific DBTAC at 1-510-848-2980 (voice) or 1-510-848-1840 (TDD). You can obtain a brochure from Pacific DBTAC that will answer some questions and give you more resources. The address is: Pacific DBTAC, 2168 Shattuck Ave., Ste. 301, Berkeley, CA 94704-1307. For work-related ADA issues, call 1-800-ADA-WORK. The Act itself is several hundred pages long, so it is not available to give out. For information on how to purchase parts of the ADA call the number above for the Dept. of Justice Information Line.
