ABA ADA Building & Sites
Historic buildings and sites provide visitors with the opportunity to experience the past. Whether a 200-year-old historic home or a battlefield, historic buildings and sites give us a chance to feel what it might have been like to be where history was made, much more than just learning about historic events from books or movies. It is important that visitors with disabilities are also able to take advantage of these sensory-rich opportunities. In this webinar, presenters will provide an overview of the requirements in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) accessibility standards relevant to qualified historic buildings and facilities, including basic requirements for alterations and specific exceptions for historic buildings and facilities. Presenters will discuss best design practices and other recommendations for making historic sites and facilities more accessible as well as approaches to providing facility and programmatic accessibility to a range of historic buildings and facilities. This webinar will include video remote interpreting (VRI) and real-time captioning. Questions can be submitted in advance of the session or can be posed during the live webinar. Webinar attendees can earn continuing education credits.

Have you previously attended our webinars or reached out with questions and training about accessibility? You might be surprised to learn that some questions may be outside the scope of the U.S. Access Board’s Office of Information and Technical Services (OTIS). Join us for this informative webinar where we’ll explore the U.S. Access Board’s crucial role in creating, training, and enforcing accessibility standards for everything from buildings and public spaces to transportation and information and communication technology. Plus, we’ll explain areas in which other federal agencies lead and enforce specific accessibility standards. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to understand the full landscape of accessibility! Human generated real-time captioning provided along with video sign language interpreters. Participants can ask questions in advance during the registration process as well as ask questions during the live session.

Hear how agencies can design an HTML-first approach for electronic content using “@media print” for a superior printing experience (because yes, some people do use paper) during a panel discussion with experts from FDIC, USAB, and GSA when a PDF document is the proper solution. Questions can be submitted in advance of the session or can be posed during the live webinar. Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) and real-time captioning will be provided.
