Join Start Small Think Big, Columbia Law School, and 651 Arts for a free webinar that breaks down what small business owners need to know about the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the vital role accessibility plays in creating inclusive communities.
The ADA is more than a set of regulations—it’s a commitment to ensuring that people with disabilities can access goods, services, and spaces on an equal basis. This session will provide an overview of accessibility requirements for both websites and brick-and-mortar businesses. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, this presentation will equip participants with practical guidance to meeting legal requirements, and also steps toward creating businesses that are welcoming and accessible to all.
In this webinar, small business owners will learn about:
-
Why accessibility matters and real-world examples of common accessibility barriers and their impact
-
Overview of the current ADA legal landscape as it relates to small businesses
-
Common compliance risks for both brick-and-mortar locations and online businesses
-
Understand the legal protections that exist to uphold the rights of people with disabilities—while strengthening and expanding their reach
-
Practical steps to reduce exposure (low-cost accessibility improvements, website tools and services), and general information about responding to demand letters
Participants will have the option to join us virtually via Zoom or attend in-person at the headquarters of 651 Arts (10 Lafayette Avenue, 4th Floor, Brooklyn, NY).
