What the ADA Requires: Title II - Public Entities
❖ The state and local governmental entities
give people with disabilities an equal
opportunity to benefit from their
programs, services and activities.
❖ Ensure program access, effective
communication, and to make all new
construction, additions, and alterations
comply with the specific standards.
2 What is a Self-Evaluation?
❖ A Self-Evaluation is a public entity's
assessment of its programs, services,
activities as well as grievance procedures.
❖ After conducting a Self-Evaluation, a
public entity can develop a Transition Plan
for architectural changes and work with
public entity’s departments to modify
policies and procedures.
