The Great Lakes ADA Center is a federally funded technical assistance Center on the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. We are a member of the ADA National Network which is comprised of 10 regional technical assistance centers. We serve the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. We provide guidance on requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as well as requirements for the acquisition and utilization of accessible information
technology. We host a variety of training programs which are offered via distance learning platforms as well as provide customized training upon request. The information and consultation provided is not a legal determination of your rights or responsibilities. Our mission is to promote voluntary compliance with the ADA.
The Great Lakes Center staffs a toll-free information line between 8:00am and 5:00pm Central Time. The Great Lakes ADA
Center is
not an enforcement agency and cannot provide legal representation.
However, the Center's Technical Assistance Specialists can answer
most questions you have immediately and will research and return your
call on complex questions if necessary. They may also be able to
provide you with expert referrals for disability related issues, which are not
addressed by the ADA as well as the intersection of the ADA with other laws such as Fair Housing and Individuals with Disabilities Education Act as well as local and state laws. All requests for technical assistance are strictly confidential. You may also
consult with a Technical Assistance Specialist by calling 800-949-4232 (V/TTY) or sending an email to adata@adagreatlakes.org
