Equal Access and Other Rights
Individuals with disabilities must have access to programs, services, technology, polling places, buildings and housing.
Following are objectives that IPAS staff will work to complete in order to increase access to individuals with disabilities:
Review allegations of individual or systemic discrimination where services have been denied under the ADA (Titles II and III), or Fair Housing.
Assist individuals with disabilities in obtaining assistive technology services and devices in the areas of education, health care, employment, community living and in the use of telecommunications.
Assist or represent individuals with disabilities in the grievance procedure set forth in the Indiana Help America Vote Act plan.
Ensure that each WorkOne Center has an assigned ADA Coordinator, an updated survey and plan that addresses any compliance issues noted in the survey.
Participate as non voting members of Resident/Human Rights Committee of the facilities operated by the Indiana Department of Mental Health and Addictions.
Participate on selected committees, groups or task forces which appear to have systemic implications concerning policies and practices affecting the State’s response to disability rights for individuals with disabilities.
Provide advocacy services for individuals who have allegedly been subjected to disability based discrimination when it is deemed that the case or situation may have systemic implications.
