Mission Statement

The Mid-Atlantic ADA Center is one of ten regional centers established to provide training, information, and technical assistance on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The Center is funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (grant # 90DPAD0008). NIDILRR is a Center within the Administration for Community Living (ACL) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The Mid-Atlantic ADA Center has a staff of specialists who can answer specific questions on the ADA. Private businesses, individuals with disabilities, employers, architects, local government representatives, and other interested parties can call for guidance and information on what is required, who is covered, and how to work through a disability-related question.

The Mid-Atlantic ADA Center also provides free or low-cost training programs to help those with rights and responsibilities understand and comply with the law. A training or presentation can be tailored to the interests of the audience, and can be a simple overview or an in-depth review of a particular area of the law.
