The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), enacted over three decades ago, remains one of the most influential civil rights laws impacting today’s workforce. Its core mission is to promote equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities by ensuring workplace accessibility, prohibiting discrimination, and integrating individuals with both visible and invisible disabilities into professional environments. Despite its positive intent and widespread impact, many employers struggle to fully understand and apply its mandates.

This 90-minute, information-rich session led by ADA compliance expert Lauren Sobaski will guide employers through the complexities of the ADA. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of their legal obligations, how to engage in the interactive process, and best practices for making reasonable accommodations. The session will also address common pitfalls that can lead to EEOC scrutiny and legal action—including discriminatory hiring and promotion practices, retaliation, and failure to ensure digital accessibility. Real-world case studies will help translate legal requirements into practical action for HR professionals, managers, and leadership teams.
