Online Training on the ADA

Training Available on the Internet

There are several online training options available to learn about, and keep up to date, on the Americans with Disabilities Act, and other related disability laws.

While ADA-Indiana does not assume responsibility for the accuracy and accessibility of these online trainings, many of these courses were developed under the guidance of federal agencies charged with providing technical assistance and enforcement under the ADA.
