  • ADA Day Draft
    Americans With Disabilities Act ADA DAY 7.26.21 What is ADA Day? History The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is a civil rights law for people with disabilities that was passed on July 26, 1990. The law prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities, assuring them of equality and equity of opportunity, full community participation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency. In enacting the ADA, Congress recognized that physical and mental disabilities do not reduce a person’s right or ability to fully participate in all aspects of society, but that people with physical or mental disabilities are frequently excluded from doing so as a result of prejudice and inaccessibility. With the help of the ADA, 1 in 4 Americans with disabilities is able to participate in their communities and workplaces today. Every July 26th we celebrate the ADA, our fellow individuals with disabilities, and look ahead to the work that is still being done to make a more inclusive, accessible life for those with disabilities. Areas of assistance under the ADA Employment Transportation Public Accommodations President George Bush signing the ADA act on July 26, 1990 Communications and access to state and local government programs and services 01 Overview of Americans with Disabilities Act Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Prohibits private and government employers, employment agencies, and worker’s unions from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities. This covered all termsof employment, including applications, hiring, firing, promotion, and job training. It is enforced by the U.S Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Those who believe they have been discriminated against on the basis of their disability can file a charge to the department citing disability discrimination.

Gauging ADA Compliance in the 21st Century Business Internet: A Pilot Study ABSTRACT This paper explores issues of accessibility in Web design, including the applicability of various federal statutes such as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. A pilot study of six private sector websites is completed to gauge the effectiveness of current accessibility standards as interpreted from the ADA and Section 508. Evaluating these sites shows that even after 25 years, sites still have accessibility issues. Keywords: web accessibility, Americans with Disabilities Act, ADA, web design, accessibility standards, WCAG 2.0, HTML Section 508 checklist INTRODUCTION The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) created a legal incentive for businesses to stop discriminating against people with disabilities.

  • Accessibility in Web Development Courses: a Case Study
    informatics Article Accessibility in Web Development Courses: A Case Study Mexhid Ferati 1,* and Bahtijar Vogel 2 1 Informatics Department, Linnaeus University, 392 31 Kalmar, Sweden 2 Department of Computer Science and Media Technology, Malmö University, 205 06 Malmö, Sweden; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 11 February 2020; Accepted: 13 March 2020; Published: 17 March 2020 Abstract: Web accessibility is becoming a relevant topic with an increased number of people with disabilities and the elderly using the web. Numerous legislations are being passed that require the web to be universally accessible to all people, regardless of their abilities and age. Despite this trend, university curricula still teach traditional web development without addressing accessibility as a topic. To investigate this matter closely, we studied the syllabi of web development courses at one university to evaluate whether the topic of accessibility was taught there. Additionally, we conducted a survey with nineteen students who were enrolled in a web development course, and we interviewed three lecturers from the same university. Our findings suggest that the topic of accessibility is not covered in web development courses, although both students and lecturers think that it should. This generates lack of competence in accessibility. The findings also confirm the finding of previous studies that, among web developers, there is a low familiarity with accessibility guidelines and policies. An interesting finding we uncovered was that gender affects the motivation to learn about accessibility. Females were driven by personal reasons, which we attribute to females having an increased sense of empathy. Finally, our participants were divided in their opinions whether accessibility contributes to usability.

  • United States Olympic Committee and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
    SELECTION STANDARDS United States Olympic Committee and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Veteran Monthly Assistance Allowance Program The U.S. Olympic Committee supports Paralympic-eligible military veterans in their efforts to represent the USA at the Paralympic Games and other international sport competitions. Veterans who demonstrate exceptional sport skills and the commitment necessary to pursue elite-level competition are given guidance on securing the training, support, and coaching needed to qualify for Team USA and achieve their Paralympic dreams. Through a partnership between the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and the USOC, the VA National Veterans Sports Programs & Special Events Office provides a monthly assistance allowance for disabled Veterans of the Armed Forces training in a Paralympic sport, as authorized by 38 U.S.C. § 322(d) and section 703 of the Veterans’ Benefits Improvement Act of 2008. Through the program the VA will pay a monthly allowance to a Veteran with a service-connected or non-service-connected disability if the Veteran meets the minimum VA Monthly Assistance Allowance (VMAA) Standard in his/her respective sport and sport class at a recognized competition. Athletes must have established training and competition plans and are responsible for turning in monthly and/or quarterly forms and reports in order to continue receiving the monthly assistance allowance. Additionally, an athlete must be U.S. citizen OR permanent resident to be eligible. Lastly, in order to be eligible for the VMAA athletes must undergo either national or international classification evaluation (and be found Paralympic sport eligible) within six months of being placed on the allowance pay list.

  • Para Cycling Information Sheet About the Sport Classification Explained
    Para cycling information sheet About the sport Para cycling is cycling for people with impairments resulting from a health condition (disability). Para athletes with physical impairments either compete on handcycles, tricycles or bicycles, while those with a visual impairment compete on tandems with a sighted ‘pilot’. Para cycling is divided into track and road events, with seven events in total. Classification explained In Para sport classification provides the structure for fair and equitable competition to ensure that winning is determined by skill, fitness, power, endurance, tactical ability and mental focus – the same factors that account for success in sport for able-bodied athletes. The Para sport classification assessment process identifies the eligibility of each Para athlete’s impairment, and groups them into a sport class according to the degree of activity limitation resulting from their impairment. Classification is sport-specific as an eligible impairment affects a Para athlete’s ability to perform in different sports to a different extent. Each Para sport has a different classification system. Standard Classification in detail Para-Cycling sport classes include: Handcycle sport classes H1 – 5: There are five different sport classes for handcycle racing. The lower numbers indicate a more severe activity limitation. Para athletes competing in the H1 classes have a complete loss of trunk and leg function and limited arm function, e.g. as a result of a spinal cord injury. Para athletes in the H4 class have limited or no leg function, but good trunk and arm function. Para cyclists in sport classes H1 – 4 compete in a reclined position. Para cyclists in the H5 sport class sit on their knees because they are able to use their arms and trunk to accelerate the handcycle.
