The ADA Trainer/Leadership Network (ADA TLN) is a national initiative involving more than 500 disability specialists including people with disabilities, vocational rehabilitation professionals, community rehabilitation providers, business and employers, state and local government, and others, who use a curriculum, designed by the Northeast ADA Center at Cornell University on behalf of the ADA National Network, to provide basic training on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In addition to learning about the ADA, members are provided training on community needs assessment, consulting, and relationship building so they can work with local ADA stakeholders to effect change in their communities. To evaluate the effectiveness of this capacity building program we gather data from the ADA TN/LN as well as from people who attend their trainings. During the first five years, impact of the program was measured by gathering data from training participants (n=6520) who attended 340 training sessions conducted by the ADA TLN. Pre/post-test data measured changes in knowledge and behavioral intentions, and indicated significant positive impact across both domains. Currently, Regions 2, 3, and 4 have active ADA TLN programs and are working together to collect stories about the specific impacts members have on the individuals, employers, businesses, and community organizations with whom they share the curriculum.

The ADA Title II Tutorial web course covers the basic principles and core concepts of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA is a civil rights law that ensures equality for 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. Within State and local entities, successful coordination of the ADA requires a steadfast commitment from government leadership to provide equal access and opportunities for each and every member of our community. This is achieved when government employees who are responsible for ADA compliance possess the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure the safety, rights and well-being of people with disabilities. This web course is designed to help individuals working in State and local governments understand and comply with their responsibilities under ADA Title II. This web course is also a valuable educational tool for the orientation of ADA coordinators, agency leaders, human resources (HR) and legal professionals, managers, and supervisors. As you work through the modules, please consider how implementing the requirements of the ADA, a civil rights law, is a direct route to creating an inclusive, customer-oriented culture.
