Who We Are
The ADA Coalition of Connecticut was formed in 1992 to promote compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act. It is the only organization in the state singularly devoted to educating individuals with disabilities, businesses, and governmental entities about the ADA.
What We Do
Do you have any questions about how the ADA is structured, what it means, and how it works? ADACC provides information and technical assistance on the ADA to individuals with disabilities and their families, employers, private businesses, state and local government entities, and any member of the public.
We will not give you a list of resources and send you on your way. When you contact us or you attend one of our training sessions, ADACC’s goal is that questions are clearly answered and next steps are clearly understood.
Staff
Lisa Caron is the Project Director for ADACC. She has worked for over 25 years with people with disabilities in many different capacities. The 10 years before coming to ADACC in 2005 were focused on inclusion, independent living planning for people “living” in institutions, and other aspects of advocacy.
