ADA and Its Implications for Experiential Training

Abstract

This paper discusses the importance of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) to training in general, and experientially-oriented training in particular. The paper first provides a brief overview of the ADA legislation and its implications for training. Second, it offers a self-evaluation questionnaire that training personnel can use to assess the disabled individual’s integration and learning transfer in the classroom. The paper concludes with a discussion of accommodations that training personnel can make to remove barriers for the disabled during training.
