Abstract
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), states that its purpose is to eliminate discrimination against people with disabilities, to provide enforceable standards, and to ensure that these standards are enforced. Cooperative Extension may be particularly vulnerable because their venue is usually coordinated at a wide variety of sites, many of which may be judged as marginal or unsuitable for the inclusion of disabled clientele. By becoming familiar with government guidelines, regulations, and procedures, Extension can affirm their commitment to all citizens by improving facilities, marketing, decision making, faculty awareness, resources, policies, and evaluation.
