Illinois Theatre Association Theatre Access Coalition chairperson Enice Joffe will conduct a workshop for students, faculty, arts organization staff and volunteers on campus April 28 at 2 p.m. in the cafeteria.
The three-hour workshop will provide low cost methods to comply with the Americans with Disability Act.
The training package offers information, ideas and hands-on practice relevant to increasing the accessibility of an organization’s facilities and services to individuals with disabilities.
The Americans with Disabilities Act requires that public accommodations operated by private entities take action to ensure accessibility of their goods and services to individuals with disabilities.
The Illinois Theatre Association’s Access Theatre Coalition is funded by the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency which provides grants and technical assistance to community arts agencies, individual creative artists and non-profit organizations which present arts programming.
Further information is available from Dr. David Kuester at ext. 352.
