One-stop portal offers ADA links

A new website , the  ADA Collection, offers visitors over 3,000
documents pertaining to the Americans with Disabilites Act.  This new
one-stop, one-shop ADA source  is online at
<http://www.adaportal.org/>http://www.adaportal.org/

Billed as an "ADA Portal, the site is organized into the following
categories:

-- "general", offering an overview and FAQs on the law;
-- employment, including a Technical Assistance Manual and links to
EEOC information on employee rights and employer responsibilities;
-- information on state and local government requirements, including
a technical assistance manual
-- information on requirements for private businesses, with over 300
documents and links, including a technical assistance manual;
--facility access requirements, including links to the ADA Access
Guidelines and a PDF checklist for barrier removal;
-- a technical assistance manual on the ADA's transportation requirements,
and
-- FAQs about communications access requirements and auxiliary aids.

In addition, the site links to over a thousand "interpretation
letters" from the U.S. Dept. of Justice and nearly 800 documents on
enforcement, including court settlements, letters of finding from
DOJ, Supreme Court and lower court decisions and a discussion of the
Supreme Court's interpretations of the ADA.

"We will continue to add new materials to the collection," says the
group Meeting the Challenge, which developed the website. "Our goal
is to continue to add new data to the collection."

The ADA Document Portal was developed by Meeting the Challenge, Inc.
under grant number H133G000221 from the U.S. Department of Education,
National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR).
The group, which calls itself a "knowledge engineering and knowledge
management consulting firm" is  the NIDRR-funded Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) Technical Assistance Center for the Rocky
Mountain region, serving Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming.
