Great Lakes ADA Center - webinar series

September 18, 2013 » The Litigation Landscape Five Years After the Passage of the ADA Amendments Act

The ADA Amendments Act was passed in September 2008, and after five years, we are seeing how it is changing the way courts interpret the ADA. This session will review cases interpreting the definition of disability under the ADA Amendments Act and the relevant regulations that have been issued. There will also be a discussion of emerging ADA legal issues in the wake of fewer cases being dismissed for failing to meet the definition of disability.

The Great Lakes ADA Center's mission is to increase awareness and knowledge with the ultimate goal of achieving voluntary compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. This is accomplished within targeted audiences through provision of customized training, expert assistance, and dissemination of information developed by various sources, including the federal agencies responsible for enforcement of the ADA. We are not an enforcement or regulatory agency, but a helpful resource supporting the ADA's mission to "make it possible for everyone with a disability to live a life of freedom and equality."

The Great Lakes ADA Center is a member of the ADA National Network which is comprised of 10 regional centers funded by theNational Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), a division of the U.S. Department of Education.

The six states within the region served by the Center include: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. We have established ADA Affiliates in each state that represent the business community, government agencies, disability rights groups, and other interested parties. The Great Lakes Affiliates enhance the Center's mission of voluntary compliance of the ADA utilizing local resources to provide trainings, technical assistance, and engage in capacity building around the ADA in the state.

The Great Lakes ADA Center is a program of the Department of Disability and Human Development under the College of Applied Health Sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
