Under Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI & VII), and the Americans with Disabilities

Act of 1990 (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975,

the Department prohibits discrimination in admissions, programs, services, activities, or employment based

on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, and disability. The Department must make a reasonable

accommodation to allow a person with a disability to take part in a program, service or activity. For

example, this means if necessary, the Department must provide sign language interpreters for people who

are deaf, a wheelchair accessible location, or enlarged print materials. It also means that the Department

will take any other reasonable action that allows you to take part in and understand a program or activity,

including making reasonable changes to an activity. If you believe that you will not be able to understand or

take part in a program or activity because of your disability, please let us know of your disability needs in

advance if at all possible. To request this document in alternative format or for further information about

this policy, contact the Department of Economic Security, Division of Developmental Disabilities ADA

Coordinator at 602 542-6825 ; TTY/TDD Services: 7-1-1.
