The National Center for State Courts will present a webinar on “Accessibility Considerations for Treatment Courts” Friday, May 29, from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom.
Treatment court teams, legal professionals, court service providers, and policymakers need an understanding of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and accessibility practices to strengthen organizational compliance, program design, and service delivery.
This Family-Centered Fridays webinar will examine the new “NCSC Guide on Accessibility Considerations for Treatment Courts.” Specifically designed for treatment courts, the guide outlines basic accessibility principles and ADA requirements and provides practical tools and templates that support full participation and inclusivity for people with disabilities.
During the webinar, NCSC staff will provide an overview of the guide and highlight key considerations for courts. Panelists will also discuss incorporating accessibility training into problem-solving courts, handling modifications in treatment courts, and implementing modified policies.
Speaking at the webinar will be:
• Judge Taryn L. Heath, presiding judge, Stark County (Ohio) Honor Court Veterans Treatment Court
• Leah Elsbernd, problem-solving coordinator, Colorado Judicial Department
• Moderator Grace Spulak, principal court management consultant, NCSC
• Moderator Lisa M. Williams, senior court management consultant, NCSC
