Title II and Title III Regulations to Implement ADA Amendments Act of 2008: What should you know? In-Person

Webinar hosted by Disability Services for Students
Presenter: Paul D. Grossman, J.D.; Office of Civil Rights, Chief Regional Civil Rights Attorney S.F, retired

In September of last year, the Department of Justice issued the final rule to amend the American’s with Disabilities Act regulations and to incorporate the statutory changes to the ADA resulting from the Amendments Act of 2008. Congress enacted the ADA Amendments Act to restore understanding that the definition of “disability” should be broadly construed and applied without extensive analysis. Since the passage of the Act in 2008, AHEAD has provided guidance to higher education professionals regarding changes in practices designed to best align with the expanded definition of disability. Now that the final rule has been issued, we are thrilled that Paul Grossman has offered to walk us through the document, clarifying its language and intent and supporting us in applying it on our campuses.
