Tier One, Step Two: Communicate both internally and externally. Though the deadline to meet the final rule requirements of ADA Title II may seem distant, effective internal and external #communication must start now! Internally, people need to understand how their roles and responsibilities will change and how they will be supported to learn new skills. Externally, it's crucial to engage your community members to help support your efforts and even identify #accessibility barriers to address. Start designing your action plan with the help of our ADA #TitleII Roadmap for education leaders: ???? ncademi.org/roadmap?
