Work Experience

1994 - Present Accessibility Development Associates, Inc. , Pittsburgh, PA

Vice-President, Technical Assistance Services

Primary duties involve providing assistance for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and other disability-related legislation. Assistance includes preparation of detailed audits of business and government buildings to determine areas of compliance and non-compliance with legislative requirements. Audits include a list of recommendations to correct areas of non-compliance. Process includes follow-up meetings as needed to clarify any areas of uncertainty. All of these tasks require interaction with customers who may or may not want to be helpful. Many of the assignments have deadlines, either so that my piece can be incorporated into a larger project or because of court-mandated requirements for compliance. I also assist businesses, municipalities and State agencies in the information gathering processes required for compliance with disability-related legislation, including the preparation of transition plans for compliance with Title II of the ADA. This includes the development of a comprehensive program access compliance system for the Pennsylvania Lottery and the Department of Public Welfare state-funded HealthChoices Program. Both programs were developed to assist the state agencies in the settlement of lawsuits. I assisted in the preparation of the comprehensive ADA compliance plan for an internationally recognized museum, as part of the resolution of a lawsuit on ADA compliance. I provided technical expertise and assigned ADA and disability- related priorities to the various Title III aspects of the process. Duties also include Disability Awareness training for businesses, which include experiential or lecture style sessions. I actively participate in the marketing of the company’s services.
