ADA projects.

DISABILITY BUSINESS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTERS Ten regional Disability Business Technical Assistance Centers (DBTACs) provide information, training, and technical assistance on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and related laws to school districts, employers, architects, people with disabilities, advocates for people with disabilities, and other entities with rights and responsibilities under the ADA. The centers are a central, comprehensive resource on ADA issues in employment, public services, transportation, public accommodations (private for profit and non-profit businesses), and communications.

Each center works closely with local business, disability, governmental, rehabilitation, and other professional networks to provide ADA information and assistance. Programs vary in each region, but all centers provide the following:

* Technical assistance

* Education and training

* Materials dissemination

* Information and referral

* Public awareness

* Local capacity building

The DBTACs are funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) of the U.S. Department of Education.
