Monday June 24th, 2024 only! - 1-5pm at the Hotel $50.00 for NYSDSC Members, $75.00 Non-Members.

Are you the Section 504 and or ADA compliance person for your campus? Is this just another one of your hats? Are you also responsible for direct access services for students? For employees? This is the training for you if you answered “yes” to one, two, or all of the preceding questions! While not comprehensive (that would take a week!), you’ll come away with a light refresher on the laws, some information on needed policies, procedures, and processes to best serve your postsecondary institution as the Section 504 and/or ADA compliance person. This pre-conference session will include working together with similarly-situated colleagues from a variety of higher education institutions.

Preconference: New Professional Session (must sign up separately)

Monday June 24th, 2024 only! - 1-5pm at the Hotel free for NYSDSC Members,
