Accessibility Problems?

[Karen Ozmun]

The Northwest Disability Business Technical Assistance Center (NWDBTAC)
has blank postcards with check boxes that you can use to do a "report
card" on how accessible a business or governmental agency is for you.
You may complete this card, and then leave it for the business.

"Dear Business:
I recently visited __________ (Name of Business here) and noticed that
improvements could be made in the following areas to make the facility
more accessible to your customers with disabilities:

There also is a check box to let the business know "Accessibility of the
Facility is Appreciated," when you find they've done a good job of
ensuring accessibility of their facilities.

One nice thing about these cards is that the "report card" is the top half
of the card; the bottom half of the card has checkboxes for the business
to request NWDBTAC to send them information about ADA and Access
Guidelines, a Checklist for Existing Facilities, and Responsibilities as
an Employer.  They simply complete the request for information, fold the
card in half, staple, then mail it to NWDBTAC.

To get some of these cards, contact:
