What is ADA Shop Talk?

ADA Shop Talk is for professionals or business owners who may struggle with understanding the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act Standards or the ADA as we call it. If you are worried about lawsuits, legal exposure or just want to make your facility more accessible to persons with disabilities, then join Paul & Mark for the "ADA Shop Talk” Internet Radio Show. ADA Shop Talk is a fun and informative discussion regarding the application of the various codes, laws and standards that effect business owners, architects, engineers, contractors, code officials, and consultants throughout the the United States.

Your Hosts

Paul Klein loves talking taking chances and trying new things. This is one reason why he wanted to create ADA Shop Talk. This is a perfect platform to talk about accessibility, help others and play with all the cool gadgets necessary to produce the show.   Mark Wood loves talking about accessibility and teaching others about access. Being semi retired, he didn't really want to commit to another one of Pauls projects, but in the end Mark said "what the hell, good enough reason to get together, talk about access and have a beer"
