The ADA National Network (DBTACs) is pleased to announce a special session on

ADA Amendments Act Final Regulations. Join us as we learn more about the ADA

Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA) final regulations released by the Equal

Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on Friday, March 25, 2011.

Are you asking the same questions or have you experienced some of the same

issues as many of your colleagues or friends based on what was published in the

proposed regulations versus the final regulations?

a.. â?oHuman resource professionals have raised concerns about the proposed

list of presumptive disabilities covered under the ADA, changes in the treatment

of " working " as a major life activity, and the new terminology such as

â?otransitory and minor.â?â?

b.. â?oThe courts have issued rulings under the law without the advantage of

the regulatory guidance typically available from EEOC.â?

c.. â?oPeople with disabilities want to know if they are now covered under the

new definition of disability.â?

We've all been waiting for them. Now is the time to learn how the new ADAAA EEOC

regulations will affect people with disabilities, employers, and the workplace

on a day to day basis.
