Rate your community’s implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act!

People with disabilities, their family members, and their advocates are invited to complete the survey so that their voices are heard when accessibility issues are being addressed in their communities! We want to know what you have to say!

SPEAK YOUR MIND! The survey is available online at:

www.TheADASurvey.org


The ADA has been in effect since 1990 - nearly 20 years have passed for communities to remove physical, programmatic, and attitudinal barriers that prevent people with disabilities from becoming active participating citizens. Progress has been made, but there is still need for further compliance. The ADA SURVEY asks citizens from Michigan to identify how they view current implementation of the ADA in their own communities. Here is your opportunity to provide opinions and ideas about where to improve accessibility!

The results of the ADA SURVEY will be used to "grade" your communities on their response to the ADA and will become a tool to educate policy makers, administrators and the public about the ADA. We hope that you will join us in this effort to learn more about community responses to the ADA.

To request the survey in an alternative format, or for additional information, contact Dr. Vicki Pappas by phone: 1-800-825-4733 or e-mail: beheard@indiana.edu.

This survey is being conducted by the Great Lakes ADA Center

and the Michigan ADA Steering Committee

in conjunction with the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community
