Case Study
This case study profile provides several examples of disability-focused community approaches. For example, a drive-through testing resource was created by the Northwest ADA Center, which provides ways to address various considerations for testing sites, such as wheelchair access, service animals, people who are deaf, and people who are blind. Other examples include a mobile testing unit for individuals with disabilities in Union County, NJ, creating a reserved time for testing access for individuals with disabilities, conducting a risk analysis of testing sites for accessibility, and providing interpreter services at testing sites.
