"Filing Disability Rights Complaints: Why Should You, How Do You, and What Not to Do"

The Disability Law Resource Project (DLRP) at ILRU invites you to participate in a Web cast on Filing Complaints under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

DATE: Wednesday, July 26, 2006

TIME:

This Web cast that will discuss the complaint process, review the agencies responsible for receiving various types of disability rights, and technical non-compliance complaints, and dispel the myth of futility. This session will also focus on the best way to model and write a those complaints in order to clearly describe the situation, and hopefully, increase the chances of a positive
resolution.

The Web cast is being presented by J. Aaron McCullough, a legal specialist for the Disability Law Resource Project (DLRP) at ILRU. He produces materials on disability law issues, provides training on all aspects of the ADA, and fields technical assistance requests.

Aaron earned his law degree from the University of Houston Law Center in December of 2000, and became a member of the State Bar of Texas in the spring of 2001. Aaron entered law school after working as a social worker for Central Plains MHMR in Plainview, Texas where he worked as an advocate for people with developmental disabilities. Previously, he worked at Burrell Mental Healthcare Center, and Lakes Country Rehabilitation Center, both in Springfield, Missouri. Aaron's recent research interests include: impact of "No Child Left Behind" policy on the treatment of students with disabilities, accessibility of the polling place and process, historical preservation and the ADA, and achieving accessibility through state and local legal means.
