"As social movements mature, they begin to
look beyond the 'letter of the law', which emphasizes ethics
and values, and promulgate systemic changes in attitudes, behaviors
and institutional structures." - Leslie Kanes Weisman
The ADA SIG was established to provide a forum
to share strategies, resources, policies, procedures and practices
that address both
the letter and the spirit of the Americans With Disabilities
Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and other mandates
to provide access to postsecondary educational programs and facilities
for individual with disabilities. The content of this website
is provided by ADA SIG participants for educational purposes
and does not necessarily reflect the position of AHEAD and does

The ADA SIG meets during the annual International
AHEAD Conference. Check the program schedule for meeting time
and location.
