The ADA National Network [2.2.2.I.b.vii]

The ADA National Network provides information and guidelines on ADA requirements. It is funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). For more information on NIDILRR, see the website at http://www.acl.gov/programs/NIDILRR. See the ADA National Network web search portal for answers to a range of questions about individuals with disabilities.

A helpful fact sheet and a self-study course on ADA are available from the ADA National Network online.

In addition, the Southeast ADA Center—the regional ADA National Network covering the southeastern U.S.—hosts training and tutorials, including a free introductory web course that explores the legal requirements and spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The course takes two to three hours to complete and includes quizzes and a post-test offering CEUs and CRCCs.

Additional websites that link employers with qualified applicants with disabilities include the following:

• The U.S. Department of Labor, which offers tips for ensuring access for applicants with disabilities.
• AbilityLinks.org: The Job Opportunity Website for Persons with Disabilities and Inclusive Employers.
• Getting Hired: Bridging the Gap Between Job Seekers with Disabilities and Employers Looking to Hire.
