If you are not familiar with the California Commission on Disability Access (CCDA) or would like to know more about their efforts and directives, join us for an informative conversation with Angela Jemmott, Executive Director with the California Commission on Disability Access.  In this episode, Angella talks about some of the Commissions achievements, accomplishments as well as some of the challenges ahead and opportunities to participate in their process.

The mission of the California Commission on Disability Access (CCDA) is to promote disability access in California through dialogue and collaboration with stakeholders including, but not limited to, the disability and business communities as well as all levels of government.  In order to achieve this mission the CCDA is authorized by California Government Code Sections 14985-14985.11 to act as an information resource; to research and prepare advisory reports of findings to the Legislature on issues related to disability access, compliance inspections and continuing education; to increase coordination between stakeholders; to make recommendations to promote compliance with federal, and state laws and regulations; and to provide uniform information about programmatic and architectural disability access requirements to the stakeholders.

CCDA ADA Myths and Misconceptions (More Info)
The “Myths and Misconceptions” information compiled by the California Commission on Disability Access (CCDA) for businesses and building access requirements is part of a developing resource guide. It is the hope of our commission that over time this information will help to better inform the community about areas where disability access is lacking so that it can be addressed through the collaborative efforts of the government and business and disability communities to reduce such barriers in California.

CCDA is in the beginning stages of developing Consumer Access Tool Kits. We envision unique industry-focused toolkits will be developed to cover all industries standards. CCDA has gathered access professionals and representatives from various organizations to ensure the highest quality of expertise to meet this charge.
