ADA Coordinator

An ADA Coordinator is a person designated to coordinate ADA compliance efforts within an organization. While only required for government entities with 50+ employees, many private employers also designate one.

Responsibilities typically include: - Receiving and processing accommodation requests - Facilitating the interactive process - Tracking accommodation outcomes - Training managers on ADA requirements - Handling ADA complaints - Ensuring accessible policies and practices

For employees: - The ADA Coordinator may be your first point of contact for accommodations - They can explain the organization's accommodation process - They may mediate between you and your supervisor - They should maintain confidentiality

Finding your ADA Coordinator: - Check employee handbooks or intranet - Ask HR or your supervisor - Look for titles like "Disability Services" or "Accessibility"

Not all organizations have a designated coordinator. In smaller companies, HR typically handles accommodation requests.
