Quarterly Tea with MOD: Serving Customers with Disabilities.
May 29,2024 at 1 PM
Staff and owners of places that serve the public, including both public accommodations (like stores, restaurants, and medical offices) and public entities (like libraries and government offices).
MOD often receives questions from public places about how to best serve their customers with disabilities. This training will give local entities that interact with the public (for example: state and local government, businesses, and other service-providers) a basic overview of the disability-related obligations that exist when serving the public.
Target audience: Staff and owners of places that serve the public, including both public accommodations (like stores, restaurants, and medical offices) and public entities (like libraries and government offices)
In this training MOD will:
Discuss what laws apply to places that serve the public
Define who qualifies as a Title II/public entity and Title III/public accommodation
Provide an overview of disability rights-related obligations and best practices regarding:
Effective communication
Reasonable modifications
Service animals
Architectural access
Digital accessibility
Answer your questions about serving your customers with disabilities
