5 kids on a snowy sidewalk in coats, hats and mittens, one child pushing another child in a wheelchair. Be a good winter neighbor!
Remember... The ADA requires maintenance of accessible features by state/local government and businesses. State laws may have penalties for entities failing to remove snow or blocking access. Northeast ADA logo and Cornell University Logo.
❄ Be a good winter neighbor! Remove snow that is blocking access as soon as you can. Be safe while removing snow as well!

Las pequeñas empresas y la ADA.
¿Cuáles son algunos conceptos básicos de la
ADA que debe saber como pequeño empleador?
* La Ley de Estadounidenses con Discapacidades (ADA, por sus siglas en inglés) se trata de igualdad de oportunidades, no de una cuota dediscapacidad.
* No asuma que alguien con una discapacidad está menos calificado en función de su discapacidad.

Man using cane walking acoross snowy sidewalk. "Where a public accommodation must provide an accessible route, the route must remain accessible and not blocked by Obstacles." Department of Justice ADA Title III Technical Assistance Manual.
Removing nos is a readily achievable barrier removal! Northeast ADA Center Logo, Cornell University Logo. If you have questions about the Americans with Disabilities Act, contact us at 1-800-949-4232. ADA disclaimer - NIDILRR Grant Number 90DP0088).
While the ADA does not mandate an exact period of time when snow must be removed, the expectation is that snow removal on accessible routes is prioritized in order to provide access for pedestrians with disabilities. #ADA

¿Están seguros de que tengo un empleado con una discapacidad?
Alrededor del 20% de la población tiene una discapacidad. Algunas son visibles, pero muchas no lo son, como la depresión, el cáncer olas discapacidades auditivas.
No se trata del diagnóstico, se trata de cómo una afección afecta las funciones cotidianas.
