The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act 2005 (the AODA) is a comprehensive law designed to make Ontario completely accessible to persons with disabilities by the year 2025. The provincial government has developed a regulation under the AODA called the Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation. Within this regulation are five Accessibility Standards, each of which is targeted at removing barriers for persons with disabilities in key areas of daily living. This course covers the Customer Service Standard, the purpose of which is to make the goods, services, and facilities provided by businesses and organizations in Ontario accessible to persons with disabilities. This course covers the purpose of the AODA and the requirements of the Customer Service Standard; how to interact and communicate with people with various types of disabilities, including those who use assistive devices, service animals, guide dogs, or support people; how to use equipment or devices in order to help those with disabilities access your organization's goods, services, and facilities; instruction on what to do if customers are having difficulty accessing your organization's goods, services, or facilities; and instruction on how to approach your organization's policies governing the provision of goods, services, and facilities to people with disabilities.
