Revenues are down, budget cuts are inevitable. Whether you are a public, private, or government agency, adjustments are going to be required to deal with the effects of the Covid 19 virus. HIring a temporary or ad-hoc ADA Coordinator can help your entity maintain a high level of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Richard Acree, at ADA Inspections Nationwide, LLC, offers ADA Coordinator services for public, private, and government entities.
There is no allowance within the ADA laws to disregard the safety and accessibility for people living with disabilities because of revenue short falls. It may be tempting to eliminate some positions to save money, but an entitiy cannot avoid the requirements for barrier removal found in the ADA. An ADA program that includes ongoing barrier removal is usually the responsibility of an ADA Coordinator.
Hiring a temporary or ad-hoc (on demand) consultant with experience and qualifications for compliance with the ADA laws can be a way to maintain a high level of ADA compliance and still address the reality of revenue shortfalls.
