The Northwest ADA Center is funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), and is part of the ADA National Network. The ADA National Network Center is a national platform of 10 Centers and an ADA Knowledge Translation Center, comprised of ADA professionals and experts charged with assisting businesses, state and local governments, and peo
ple with disabilities as they manage the process of changing our culture to be user-friendly to disability and the effect the variety of health conditions can have on society. The NWADAC is a part of the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Washington, and collaborates with the Center for Technology and Disability Studies, a program within the Center for Human Development and Disability. The Center is not an enforcement or regulatory agency, but a helpful resource supporting the ADA's mission to "make it possible for everyone with a disability to live a life of freedom and equality." The 10 regional centers, along with the ADA Knowledge Translation Center, work together to develop projects and events of national significance. Each regional center also focuses on the specific needs of the residents who reside within its service area. The regional nature of the NWADAC is critical to ensuring the Center can adequately support the diverse population of ADA Stakeholders throughout the country. To learn more about the ADA law and implementation, you can search for comprehensive ADA information, services, products, training and guidelines on the National Center website www.adata.org, or visit your Regional NWADAC Center Website for information about local events and support.
