WEBINAR: 

Understanding the Air Carrier Access Act 

Thursday, June 25th 

1:00 PM - 2:30 PM (EST) 

Hosted by the Association for Airline Passenger Rights 

The purpose of the Air Carrier Access Act of 1986 (49 U.S.C. 41705) provides
that no air carrier may discriminate against any otherwise qualified
individual with a disability, by reason of such disability, in the provision
of air transportation. ACAA prohibits domestic air carriers from
discriminating against persons with disabilities in the provision of air
transport. The law states that persons with disabilities will have access to
all services, goods and information that they provide to any other passenger
as part of their normal operating practices and forbids air carriers from
treating passengers with disabilities any differently than other passengers
except in making the necessary accommodations 

Learn from industry experts about the following aspects of the law: 

*	Airport Accessibility 
*	Aircraft Accessibility and Wheelchair Issues 
*	Requirements Concerning Services 
*	Accommodations for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing 
*	Attendants and Service Animals 

Speakers include: 

*	Jacquie Brennan, Project Director, DBTAC: Southwest ADA Center 
*	Kleo J. King, Senior Vice President of Accessibility Services,
United Spinal Association 
*	Mike Spollen, Consumer Aviation Specialist in the Office for Civil
Rights, U.S. Department of Transportation -- invited 
*	Brandon M. Macsata, Executive Director, Association for Airline
Passenger Rights (moderator)
