The ADA requires that covered entities—including attorneys, the courts, and other private and public entities—not discriminate on the basis of disability and must provide effective communication when interacting with individuals with communication disabilities. This presentation will provide an overview of these protections and discuss practical considerations in working with clients with disabilities, especially communication disabilities. After the presentation, attendees will have a better understanding of how the law applies to them and of how they can best ensure that other private and public entities (e.g., courts) are following the ADA and providing their clients with effective communication as required under the law.
