001: Re-launch of the ADA Shop Talk Podcast and Introduction to the Fair Housing Amendments Act

ADA Shop Talk

Welcome to the re-launch of the ADA Shop Talk Podcast and Introduction to the Fair Housing Amendments Act. Think of it as a new improved ADA Shop Talk. We're not only doing monthly webinars but also a weekly podcast where we give you an accessibility brief as our team over at BlueDAG is getting all the latest and greatest information there is out there.

The webinar is attended by people from across the nation. We focus on those issues most important to ADA professionals, and also architects, engineers, civil engineers. We cover a variety of issues from the public right of way, parking lot, top 10 barriers found in restrooms, etc.. These are the low-hanging fruit everyone should be keeping an eye out for since some of these are new things people may not have known are common issues, which are important issues that are being missed.

For this week's ADA Shop Talk accessibility brief: Pennsylvania Courts Expand Who May Live in a “Single-Family Dwelling.”

In this episode, you will hear:

• What scoping a project means
• Why we’re doing these types of education and trainings
• How Pennsylvania courts expanded the definition of allowed groups of people with disabilities in single family homes.
• New rulings for common areas of associations
• Changes in voter access for people with disabilities
