ADA National Network's Work Continues With Renewed Federal Funding (an ADANN Bluesky thread):

(1/6) On September 30, the ADA National Network received notice that we have been funded for three more years.

(2/6) Our funder, the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), is the only federal agency supporting a national network of technical assistance centers dedicated to providing information, training, and technical assistance on the ADA.

(3/6) We also conduct research to develop new knowledge about barriers to ADA compliance, strategies for its effective implementation, and greater understanding of stakeholders’ need for and use of ADA National Network services.

(4/6) With this continued funding, we will be able to continue providing training and technical assistance about the ADA to tens of thousands of people with rights or with responsibilities each year.

(5/6) Since 1991, we have helped people with disabilities and their family members, businesses, staff from state and local governments, architects and design professionals, service providers, educators, and others understand the law and how it applies to their specific situation.
