The ADA Office provides technical assistance to the public and County Government departments to ensure that County Government’s disability-related policies, procedures, and practices are implemented in conformance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other disability rights laws. The ADA Office also provides informal guidance to the public in disability rights matters involving non-public entities.
Title II of the ADA applies to public entities, including the Anne Arundel County government, and prohibits discrimination based on disability in all aspects of government programs and services.
Title II requires that, on request, county government will provide appropriate aids and services leading to effective communication for people with disabilities. Title II also requires reasonable modifications to policies, procedures, and practices in order to provide qualified individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in all programs and services.
Title II of the ADA also requires local and state governments with greater than 50 employees to establish the position of ADA Coordinator. The ADA Coordinator is responsible for coordinating the efforts of the Anne Arundel County Government to comply with Title II of the ADA and investigate any complaints of non-compliance with ADA by any County-owned property and county-operated programs and services.

The ADA Office is always available to provide information on the accessibility of County government buildings, facilities, programs, and services. We will also refer you to other resources if your issue or concern does not involve a County government facility, program, or service.

In addition to the internal grievance policy, individuals may file an administrative complaint with a designated federal agency or with the Department of Justice (www.ada.gov) and have the right to file a private lawsuit for injunctive relief and damages.
