On October 2, 2013, the Southeast ADA Center is launching “ADA Live!” on WADA, the Center’s internet-based radio station.  For the past 22 years, the Southeast ADA Center, a member of the ADA National Network and a project of the Burton Blatt Institute at Syracuse University, has provided free, confidential and accurate information, training and technical assistance on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to individuals who have rights under the ADA as well as to those who have responsibilities under the Act.

WADA “ADA Live!” will broadcast live on the first Wednesday of each month from 1:00 pm -1:30 pm ET/12 Noon-12:30 pm CT.  “ADA Live!” programs provide the opportunity for everyone to get up-to-date information on the ADA and call in with their ADA questions whether on the go, while at work, or in the comfort of their homes. “ADA Live!” will also expand the Center’s outreach to youth, young adults and members of racially/culturally diverse communities throughout the Southeast Region.
