[il-talk] Illinois ADA in Your Community Poll

[Pete Berg]

Hello,

 

Please assist us in getting out the word about the ADA in Your Community
Poll.  We are attempting to get 500 responses from Illinois residents.
We need 150 more responses.  Please forward this information onto
appropriate individuals and lists.
 
Thank You,
 
Great Lakes Center Staff

 

 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 poll 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 poll is available online at: 

www.ADAReportCard.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 POLL asks citizens from Illinois 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 POLL 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.

This poll is being conducted by the Great Lakes ADA Center and the
