ADA & Accommodations:

What Small Businesses Must Do to Stay Compliant

Wednesday, October 29, 2025 @11:00 AM-1:30 PM EST

A 2-hour power session for small and mid-sized business owners who want to confidently handle workplace accommodations, avoid costly lawsuits, and protect their team — and their bottom line.

THE PROBLEM

ADA Compliance Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated — But Ignoring It Can Cost You Everything

Let’s be honest… ADA compliance isn’t exactly on your list of favorite things to deal with.
You’re trying to run a business, manage your team, and keep things moving — and then you hear:

“I need an accommodation.”

Suddenly, your stomach drops.
You’re not sure what to say, what to ask, or what you
legally can’t say.
You just know one wrong move could land you in a lawsuit, on the news, or writing a very large check.

You’re not alone. Most small and midsize business owners want to do the right thing — but feel lost in a maze of legal jargon, gray areas, and fear of “getting it wrong.”

That’s where this 2-hour workshop comes in.

What the ADA really requires

  • Conduct the interactive process confidently.

  • Recognize where the ADA stops.

  • Identify verbal and written cues that qualify as accommodation requests under the ADA.

  • Differentiate between casual complaints and legitimate requests.

  • Respond promptly and appropriately.
