Several DSHS Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) staff attended and presented at the “Accessibility Matters” conference, put on by the Information Professional Management Association (IPMA) The two-day conference was held in person and online at Saint Martin's University in Lacey on October 8 and 9, 2024. Topics covered at the event included: ~How the changes to Title II of the ADA will impact State and Local government agencies. ~WaTech Accessibility Policy 188 Updates and strategies on how to become compliant. ~Why accessibility should matter to you and how you can create a more accessible environment in your government agency. DVR staff presented on case management and the DVR's business unit presented on reasonable accommodations.
