Become a Fan of ADA-Indiana

What is Facebook?

The Wikipedia defines Facebook as a "... global social networking website that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. Users can add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves."

Another feature of Facebook is Fan Pages which is what ADA-Indiana has. You can "become a fan" by clicking on the button that will appear we you sign into your own Facebook account. Please read the Wikipedia article from more information about Facebook.

What does ADA-Indiana post on their Facebook page?

ADA-Indiana intends to post information about ADA-Indiana activities, events, and other news about ADA resources and trainings. Some of the items may be cross-posted on our website and our Twitter account.

We intend to post at least once a week.

Concerned about the Accessibility of Social Networking Sites like Facebook and Twitter?

Plan to attend (or listen) to a couple of trainings coming up. The DBTACs will have a couple of sessions on Social Networking sites.

  • December 15th, 2009 » Social Networking Sites and Accessibility: Implications for Employers - Social networking has tremendous potential for employers to outreach to people with disabilities. However, employers need to be concerned about the use of such technologies in their business practices and the growing concern over the accessibility of such technology. Careful consideration should be given to how it can be effectively used to reach out to and interact with people with disabilities. Join this session where members of the Job Accommodation Network Staff will discuss the critical issues and how they can be addressed by employers. Visit our audio conference page for more details about site locations near you (or how to register if we don't have a location convenient for you.)
  • January 13th, 2010 » The power of Social Networking Sites for People with Disabilities - The explosion of the use of Internet-based social networking sites and social media to communicate and connect with friends, work colleagues, potential job applicants and customers has been particularly beneficial to businesses and people with disabilities who may not have had the opportunity to connect so freely through more traditional or in-person means. This session will examine what social networking is all about and how it can be leveraged successfully to enhance communication and to break down barriers to full participation by everyone in the digital age. The guest speaker will be Mike Paciello, Founder and President of The Paciello Group. Visit our webinar page for more details about how to register for this free webinar.
