The Northeast ADA Center, Region 2: The Premier Resource on the ADA in New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands - Purpose/Goal: The goal of the Center is to educate and empower the diverse range of ADA stakeholders throughout HHS Region 2 to increase their knowledge of the ADA, to make better decisions regarding disability inclusiveness, and to implement the ADA in their own lives, workplaces, businesses and communities. Toward this end, the Northeast ADA Center will provide high-quality services that are relevant and responsive to the needs of ADA stakeholders. Target population: The Center defines the term ADA Stakeholders as individuals and organizations who have rights and responsibilities under the ADA. While we will serve all ADA Stakeholders, analysis of needs in our region highlighted three groups upon which we will focus services (1) employment service professionals; (2) young people with disabilities; and (3) facility access professionals with a focus on beach access. Outcomes: Five program outcomes will support Center efforts toward achieving this goal. The first four of these outcomes (A through D) are in direct alignment with the four program outcomes prescribed by NIDILRR. We added a fifth objective (E) to ensure that the impact of our work goes beyond information dissemination and knowledge translation to actual impact and increased implementation. The five supporting outcomes are to: A. Improve ADA stakeholders’ understanding of their rights and responsibilities under the ADA. B. Identify barriers to ADA compliance and develop innovative approaches to address these barriers. C. Continuously improve our understanding of ADA stakeholders’ needs for and use of Center services. D. Systematically enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of Center services. E. Increase the implementation of the ADA across the full diversity of stakeholders in our R2. Core Activities: To ensure achievement of these outcomes, the Center will engage in an array of activities in three core areas: 1) Stakeholder engagement activities through ADA Services, 2) Measurement and tracking, and 3) Research. The Center’s stakeholder engagement activities align with the services prescribed in the RFP and support objectives A and E. The activities ensure direct engagement with stakeholders through different modalities and levels of intensity. These activities include outreach, information dissemination, technical assistance, training, and capacity building. The Centers measurement and tracking activities include evaluation, needs assessment, and collaboration with local, regional, and national partners. These activities support the continuous improvement of engagement activities, and support achievement of objectives B, C, and D. Further, the Centers ongoing evaluation efforts will be integral to ensuring the relevance and alignment of all Center activities, and the progress toward achievement of established outcomes. The Centers research projects, of which one will focus on implementation of workplace flexibility policies and another will map long-term outcomes of a long-standing capacity-building program, cuts across all of the supporting objectives, and will both build upon and inform activities in the other two core areas. Partners: Northeast ADA Center partners include Resources for Independent Living located in Burlington, NJ; Disability Rights Center of the Virgin Islands with locations in St. Thomas and St. Croix; and Movimiento para el Alcance de Vida Independiente (MAVI) with offices in San Juan, Arecivo, Cauguas, and Rio Grande, Puerto Rico.
