Accessibility Coordinator Training: Accessibility Management for Parks and Recreation
Bloomington, Indiana
May 14-17, 2007

A comprehensive accessibility management program is the key to success for park and recreation agencies.  This NCA training course is designed to give Accessibility Coordinators in parks and recreation the foundation for implementing an accessibility management program.  This course is ideal for professionals with newly appointed responsibilities and for those looking to brush up on the latest information for accessibility compliance.  Sessions will include discussions of the characteristics and needs of people with disabilities, legislative mandates and litigation, accessibility standards and common errors, the application of universal design to park and recreation environments, program access, considerations for conducting accessibility assessments, visitor use and marketing, and comprehensive planning.  Examples and best practices in accessibility management will be presented throughout the sessions.  A field exercise will give participants an opportunity to practice conducting an accessibility assessment along with discussing considerations for prioritization of physical and programmatic barrier removal.  The training program will be conducted at the Indiana Memorial Union on the campus of Indiana University in Bloomington.
