This webinar will address and clarify requirements for bathing facilities in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Accessibility Standards for transfer showers, roll-in showers, and bathtubs in transient lodging/hotels, residential dwelling units, and other locations, which ensure those with disabilities have the option to clean themselves unassisted. Presenters will review the accessibility requirements for different types of accessible bathing fixtures and their associated components, including shower and tub seats, grab bars, shower spray units and controls, and required clearances. Video remote interpreting and real-time captioning will be provided in this webinar. Questions can be submitted in advance of the session or may be posed during the live webinar. Participants can also earn continuing education credits.

508 ABA Communication & IT webinar
Federal workspaces are required to be accessible in both physical and online environments. During the period of the COVID-19 pandemic, the widespread transition to telework made use of virtual meetings and conferences commonplace. Now that agencies are transitioning to a workspace which may be either physical or virtual or a hybrid of both, there are novel issues facing federal accessibility specialists. This webinar will provide a review of the requirements for making the physical environment accessible under the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) and the virtual environment accessible under Section 508. Presenters will also offer recommendations and best practices, as well as identify available resources to maximize participation in the federal workspace, whether virtual, physical, or hybrid. Section 508 Coordinators, IT Specialists, Reasonable Accommodation Specialists, and Disability Program Managers are encouraged to join this webinar. Questions can be submitted in advance of the session or can be posed during the live webinar. Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) and real-time captioning will be provided.
