We will discuss the ADA and Rehabilitation Act, the solid foundation of disability inclusion obligations in the United States. As a part of the webinar, Craig will review the reasons and ways that disability inclusion will be a high priority for business and regulators in the new administration, including in ensuring compliance with unchanged federal and state law. He also will offer suggestions on steps businesses may want to consider to help meet their compliance obligations.
