WEBINAR: 
Understanding the Air Carrier Access Act 
Thursday, June 25th 
1:00 PM - 2:30 PM (EST) 
Hosted by the Association for Airline Passenger Rights 

The purpose of the Air Carrier Access Act of 1986 (49 U.S.C. 41705)
provides that no air carrier may discriminate against any otherwise
qualified individual with a disability, by reason of such disability, in
the provision of air transportation. ACAA prohibits domestic air
carriers from discriminating against persons with disabilities in the
provision of air transport. The law states that persons with
disabilities will have access to all services, goods and information
that they provide to any other passenger as part of their normal
operating practices and forbids air carriers from treating passengers
with disabilities any differently than other passengers except in making
the necessary accommodations 

Learn from industry experts about the following aspects of the law: 

*	Airport Accessibility 
*	Aircraft Accessibility and Wheelchair Issues 
*	Requirements Concerning Services 
*	Accommodations for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing 
*	Attendants and Service Animals 

Speakers include: 

*	Jacquie Brennan, Project Director, DBTAC: Southwest ADA Center 
*	Kleo J. King, Senior Vice President of Accessibility Services,
United Spinal Association

Civil Rights, U.S. Department of Transportation -- invited

Passenger Rights (moderator)
