Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act, certain entities (based on type and size) are required to designate at least one responsible employee to coordinate ADA compliance. This person is often referred to as the “ADA Coordinator” (although the title can vary.) There are many benefits to having a knowledgeable ADA coordinator, even for entities that are not required to have one. This does not have to be a separate full-time position, and can be added to the responsibilities of existing employees.
