Americans with Disability Act (ADA) and (US Section 504 and MA Architectural Access Board (AAB) 521 C.M.R.) Fee for Service Consultation

The ADA calls for organizations and businesses that serve the public to make their facilities, goods, and services accessible to all people.

The ADA is the nation's first comprehensive civil right law for people with disabilities. The ADA changes the way America does business.

The ADA aims to eliminate discrimination against people with disabilities by ensuring equal opportunity in employment, state and local government services and programs, places of public accommodations, public and private transportation, and telecommunications.

For an affordable fee, NILP consultants will provide you with the assistance you need to bring your organization/business into full ADA/AAB compliance.

We provide consulting services for all types of businesses, colleges and universities, housing authorities, cities, towns, human service providers, recreational facilities, and more.

We survey properties for ADA and AAB compliance: The ADA requires most existing "covered entities" to comply to the "readily achievable" standard, which must be determined on a case by case basis.

We can help you comply with this complex set of laws, usually for a small fraction of what any potential litigation would cost. Our work is done by qualified professionals who have disabilities. This makes us the best agency to assist you with all your ADA needs.

Please contact us to discuss all of your businesses ADA needs: for existing facility ADA surveys, new construction plan reviews, providing "reasonable accommodations" for employees, ADA employee training for facility management and staff, and for location ADA products.

Testimonials

The Town of Andover has been working with Northeast Independent Living for more than ten years. Recently they assisted us updating our ADA compliance transition plan and advised us on how to come up with cost effective solutions.

During the past six years we used them to review design plans on two major new building complexes (Public Safety Center & Middle and Elementary School Complex).

Thanks to their practical understanding of the accessibility codes we were able to identify and resolve a number of problems during and prior to construction. We continue to use them as our key advisors on all of our issues and find their service very responsive, of high quality & reasonably priced."

Town of Andover

Northeast Independent Living has been a valuable resource to the Lawrence Public Schools in assisting and compiling reports of each school, allowing the City to make nessary changes to older buidings and preventing costly errors on new school construction projects.

I would recommend Northeast Independent Living for those who require any assistance with the (ADA) American Disabilities Act.
