The ADA Coalition of Connecticut was formed in 1992 to promote compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). It is the only organization in the state singularly devoted to educating individuals with disabilities, businesses, and governmental entities about the ADA.
The mission of the Americans with Disabilities Act Coalition of Connecticut (ADACC) is to provide statewide leadership that ensures understanding of and compliance with the provisions of the ADA.
This is accomplished through:
