ADA Requirements - Wheelchairs, Mobility Aids, and Other Power-Driven Mobility Devices
Staff Training
Ongoing staff training is essential to ensure that people with disabilities who use OPDMDs for mobility are not turned away or treated inappropriately. Training should include instruction on the types of OPDMDs that can be accommodated, the rules for obtaining credible assurance that the device is being used because of a disability, and the rules for operation of the devices within the facility.
