Welcome to DCI!
I teach therapists and other professionals about ADA compliance, disability awareness, inclusion, and culturally competent counseling.
Approximately 20% of Americans have a disability, and that number is higher in many other countries. Do you know how to keep your business in compliance with the ADA? Do you know how to serve clients/customers with disabilities effectively? Do you have an understanding of disability culture? How would you handle requests for disability accommodations or interactions with a person with a service animal?
Our courses will teach you what you need to know to navigate all of these questions. We break down the laws you need to know about disability rights, and explain how to have an inclusive practice. You will learn about many types of physical disabilities including visual impairments, mobility impairments, neurological conditions, chronic illnesses, and deaf culture. Awareness is the first step. We will help you learn what you need to know to work effectively with people with disabilities and have a compliant and inclusive business.
