ADA

The original Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 ensures that disabled individuals are given their rights to employment, transportation, public accommodations, public services, telecommunications, and other vital services. It was signed into law on July 26, 1990, by President George H. W. Bush. Revisions were made to Title II and Title II in 2010, and they took effect on March 15, 2012, to match the 2003 International Building Code (IBC).

Very recently, I had the pleasure of presenting to the Certified Access Specialist Institute (CASI) in California. CASI is devoted to influencing positive change through awareness and proactive adaptation in building access. As one of the Co-Founders of Listen Technologies and a passionate advocate for Assistive Listening, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance, and for people with hearing loss, this was a wonderful opportunity to build awareness.

Over the last three years I have had the privilege of getting involved with the Salt Lake City chapter of the Hearing Loss Association of America and the Walk4Hearing.
