As one of the 13 TRAID sites in New York, we provide the training for ADA & IT in Westchester and Rockland counties. Through workshops, information and referral services, and publications, schools, agencies, and employers learn about adaptations and services mandated under ADA and Section 508 of the Rehab Act. Individuals with disabilities learn about their rights to accessible technology in schools, the work place, and the community.
