2025 National ADA Symposium
June 15 - June 18
Jennifer Skulski is honored to be presenting the following sessions at the 2025 National ADA Symposium.
1A-2A*) Self-Evaluation & Transition Plans Part 1 & 2
So what exactly IS the difference between an ADA Self Evaluation and a Transition Plan? This session is the launch pad for all Title II ADA Coordinators. Here we will cover the administrative requirements under Title II, the difference between an ADA Coordinator and a Designated Responsible Employee, Notice to Public, engagement including people with disabilities, and components of an effective self-evaluation and transition plan. We will also discuss some instances where it might be necessary to revisit a public entity’s self-evaluation and transition plan, along with best practices for the ADA Coordinator to implement an ADA Action Plan.
Jennifer will also be co-presenting with national accessibility expert Bill Botten:
3D) The Bumpy Path Ahead: Accessibility Considerations for Exterior Surfaces
Firm? Stable? Slip resistant? Excessive running slope? Who said cross-slope? What level? Grass is accessible, right? How do you really know if the surface material you are using on accessible routes, pedestrian trails, shared use paths, picnic areas, or playgrounds really is accessible and compliant for the facility you are constructing or altering meets the minimums in the accessibility standards? Leading national experts Bill Botten and Jennifer Skulski will cover the accessibility standards and special considerations to make sure your outdoor surfaces are designed, installed, and maintained to be usable by people with disabilities.
