Disability access includes communication. Build a seven-field

00:00:02.739 --> 00:00:05.936
accommodation record: barrier; requested method; date and

00:00:05.961 --> 00:00:09.805
recipient; acknowledgment; interim access; decision and reasons;

00:00:10.261 --> 00:00:12.088
review route. For state and local programs,

00:00:12.522 --> 00:00:14.660
ADA Title Two requires communication with people

00:00:14.708 --> 00:00:16.390
with disabilities to be as effective as

00:00:16.438 --> 00:00:18.649
communication with others. Needed aids and services

00:00:18.722 --> 00:00:22.086
depend on nature, length, complexity, context, and

00:00:22.110 --> 00:00:24.418
the person’s usual method. Title Two entities

00:00:24.514 --> 00:00:26.629
give primary consideration to the person’s request,

00:00:27.061 --> 00:00:29.321
subject to defined limits. Federal agencies and

00:00:29.369 --> 00:00:31.171
federally funded programs may follow different laws,

00:00:31.580 --> 00:00:34.488
so identify jurisdiction first. Preserve forms, portal

00:00:34.536 --> 00:00:38.838
notices, attachments, deadlines, alternatives, and decisions. A

00:00:38.888 --> 00:00:40.690
difficult process or denied request may warrant

00:00:40.714 --> 00:00:42.996
review; it does not alone prove discrimination

00:00:43.044 --> 00:00:48.548
