Improving Your Rural Business with the ADA is a training package targeted toward rural businesses.
It is a program that can be used to assist rural business owners as well as other community members in understanding and implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Owners of rural businesses will learn how the ADA can have a positive impact on their businesses. Priority is given to providing information to help improve attitudes of business owners toward the ADA an people with disabilities.
This resource package includes a 13-minute video about making rural businesses more accessible, copy-ready overhead transparencies, handouts, and brochures. The package also includes a leader’s guide that will help in organizing and conducting an ADA training session in your community.
The more tourists and senior age visitors businesses in your rural community depend on, the more important it becomes to learn how to serve this important customer population.
This training package will help owners of rural businesses:
* Gain better understanding of the Americans with Disabilities Act
* Learn how the law can benefit their businesses
* Increase positive community awareness of people with disabilities
* Become aware of the attitudinal and physical barriers present in their businesses
* Learn practical solutions to remove such barriers
* Become acquainted with resource agencies available to answer questions relating to the ADA
Check with your local Ag Extension office or Small Business Development Center to see if they have already purchased a copy of this training package. If not, it is available through the National Agriculture Safety Database (NASD), a national repository of agricultural health, safety, and injury prevention materials and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
