Diversity & ADA Policies
Diversity Policy
Answers About Brain Injury supports equal opportunities for and fair treatment of all individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or disability status. We aim to provide a supportive educational environment for our continuing education courses and to address students’ questions about diversity issues in our curriculum.
Americans with Disabilities Act
Our continuing education courses are offered only in facilities that are physically accessible according to the Americans with Disabilities Act. If you are a student with a disability and you require something in particular, please email us (ADAneeds@assesscompetency.com) and we will work with you to make appropriate accommodations for your situation.
Grow your bottom line by empowering your people. Companies and other institutions often believe the myth that ADA accommodations will be an extra cost. In fact, organizations that accommodate employees with brain injuries or other brain-based disabilities can decrease costs and increase productivity while getting a tax credit. We offer workshops for organizations and how to increase profitability while reducing drains on work teams' time, energy, and bottom line, and supporting disabled employees.
