Under Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title
VI & VII), and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
(ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the
Age Discrimination Act of 1975, the Department prohibits
discrimination in admissions, programs, services, activities, or
employment based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin,
age, and disability. The Department must make a reasonable
accommodation to allow a person with a disability to take part in
a program, service or activity. For example, this means if
necessary, the Department must provide sign language interpreters for people who are deaf, a wheelchair accessible
location, or enlarged print materials. It also means that the Department will take any other reasonable action that allows
you to take part in and understand a program or activity, including making reasonable changes to an activity. If you
believe that you will not be able to understand or take part in a program or activity because of your disability, please let
us know of your disability needs in advance if at all possible. To request this document in alternative format or for
further information about this policy, contact the Department of Economic Security, Division of Developmental
Disabilities ADA Coordinator at 602 542-6825 ; TTY/TDD Services: 7-1-1.
