LAST CALL: The ADA Survey Closes June 15

Time is running out for you to SPEAK YOUR MIND about your community’s progress in implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act! How well is the ADA being implemented? What still needs to be done?

The ADA Survey will close on JUNE 15th. We currently have just over 600 responses, but we’d like to try for 750, even 1000! So if you aren’t one of those 600 respondents, please become one very soon! Feel free to pass this on to your friends, family, and co-workers.

It takes only about 10-15 minutes.

The results of the ADA SURVEY will be used to create Indiana’s 2010 “Report Card,” which will be a highlight of our state’s ADA Celebration in July. It will also be useful as a tool to educate policy makers, administrators and the public about what priorities need to be addressed so that Indiana communities meet the goals of the ADA.
