Who is eligible to request accommodations?
Any individual with a disability that impacts participation in OPRYD programs or events may request accommodations under the ADA.
What’s the difference between the Accommodation Request Form and the Inclusion Services Questionnaire?
Accommodation Request Form: Used to request specific supports (e.g., auxiliary aides).
Inclusion Services Questionnaire: Helps us understand the participant’s communication style, triggers, interests, and goals so we can provide the best support.
Why Include an ADA Statement on Flyers and other Marketing Materials?
Adding an ADA statement shows our commitment to inclusion, ensures compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and lets participants know how to request accommodations. This simple step helps ensure equal access to information and opportunities, making our events and programs welcoming to all.
What are the Guidelines?
For the general reader 12-point font is fine, but font should be no smaller. Options to print larger versions should be readily available. When possible, use 14-point font and between 16 and 18 for large print materials. It is imperative to use fonts that are clear and simple such as Arial, Verdana, Century Gothic, Bookman, or other fonts in the styles of Serif or Sans-serif.
Copy the statements below and paste them to your marketing materials:

As the Inclusion Program Director, I assist OPRYD with ADA accommodations, but I also host my own camps and socials! My camps cater to teens and young adults with developmental disabilities. Inclusion camps help to foster long lasting friendships, strengthen independence skills, and offer opportunities to explore the community.
