University Hospitals Authority & Trust

Meeting the Challenge was selected by University Hospitals Authority & Trust to conduct an on-site review of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) at UHAT facilities. The report included an analysis of the data collected from the eight facilities identifying and describing barriers, applicable sections of the 2010 Standards, and priorities for barrier removal as recommended by the Department of Justice (DOJ). UHAT plans to incorporate the subsequent data collection of findings for elements which were not compliant with the scoping and technical provisions of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (2010 Standards) into its Transition Plan. The plan:

• Identified physical obstacles in the public entity’s facilities that limit the accessibility of its programs or activities to individuals with disabilities
• Described in detail the methods that will be used to make the facilities accessible
• Specified the schedule for taking the steps necessary to achieve compliance
• Indicated the official responsible for implementation of the plan.
