The Rocky Mountain ADA Center (RMADAC), in partnership with the ADA National Network (ADANN) and key stakeholders will, in the course of this five-year project, expand and maintain a menu of services that supports full implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) throughout Region 8 (Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming) and the nation. The goal of this project is to understand barriers to implementation and facilitate voluntary compliance with the ADA through research, training, technical assistance (TA) and materials dissemination. The objectives are: 1) to enhance core RMADAC services; 2) to improve awareness of RMADAC services; 3) to use targeted research to inform service delivery; 4) to streamline digital access to information and training on the ADA; and 5) to expand regional presence to include strategic outreach to underserved populations. Anticipated outcomes include: 1) ADA stakeholders will have improved understanding of their rights and responsibilities under the ADA; 2) barriers to compliance with the ADA as well as innovative approaches for eliminating these barriers will be identified; 3) ADA Network Services will be delivered with an improved understanding of ADA stakeholders’ need for services over time; and 4) ADA Network Services will be delivered more efficiently and effectively. The expected products are TA and outreach materials, ADA stakeholder training, an informational website, ADA National Network collaborative committees, regional and national ADA conferences, a stakeholder advisory group, and business weekday telephone, email, and online information and referral services.
