Interested in reducing isolation during the ongoing pandemic? Want to learn a new skill? Meet other individuals with disabilities?
We are so excited to celebrate, with you, the 30th Anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The Americans with Disabilities Act became law in 1990. The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public.
The Access Center will continue remote work until August 1st, as a tentative date. This date is flexible and a result of the recent increase in COVID cases, reported by Gov. DeWine, for Montgomery County. ACIL staff are tentatively scheduled to return to the office, at that time, working an adjusted office schedule. It is undetermined, at this time, when the ACIL offices will be open to the public. Any public events, that were previously scheduled, are canceled until further notice.
