SUMMARY:Webinar - The Bumpy Path Ahead: Accessibility Considerations for Exterior Surfaces
DESCRIPTION: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\, a pedestrian trail\, shared use path\, within a pedestrian access route\, picnic area\, or playground really is accessible and ADA compliant for the facility you are constructing or altering meets the minimums in the ADA Accessibility Standards? In this session\, leading national experts on park and recreation access\, Bill Botten and Jennifer Skulski will cover the ADA Accessibility Standards and special considerations to make sure your outdoor surfaces are designed\, installed\, and maintained to be usable by people with disabilities.

SUMMARY:Virtual - National ADA Symposium Spring 2026
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Skulski will present sessions during the 3-day virtual ADA Symposium hosted by the Great Plains ADA Center. Registration is now open. Check out the following session: \n\n5C) Beyond the Minimums: Universal Design as a Strategy for Building Inclusive Communities\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe ADA Standards set the minimum\, but Universal Design imagines the maximum benefit for all users—children\, older adults\, and people with diverse abilities. Many organizations miss the chance to improve usability for everyone while making accessibility improvements. This session explores the seven principles of Universal Design and shows how they can enhance parks\, trails\, recreation facilities\, and public spaces. Here we will bridge the gap between minimum legal requirements and optimal user experiences\, empowering professionals to champion inclusion in capital projects and ADA transition planning to build more inclusive communities.

SUMMARY:2024 National ADA Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Playgrounds 2.0: Balancing Access Standards Without Falling into Hot Lava\nPresented by Bill Botten and Jennifer Skulski\nCan you believe the minimum playground guidelines turn 24 and enforceable standards for more than 12 years? Yet the accessibility standards for play areas are often overlooked or misinterpreted in new construction. Bill Botten and Jennifer Skulski have dedicated the better part of their careers to providing technical assistance on playground standards. This session will address some of the most complex questions\, “the doozies\,” they have received\, the application of the accessibility standard and interplay with the ASTM standards for public play equipment\, common sources of confusion when applying the accessibility standards to trendy new play components\, and the eternal quest for accessible play surface systems. \nTitle II: The Self-Evaluation & Transition Plan\nPresented by Jennifer Skulski\nSo 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.
