Provisions of the ADA

Page 4

The Americans with Disabilities Act has three main points that child care centers must be aware of and adhere to. Below are the three basic requirements of the ADA from the Child Care and the Americans with Disabilities Act ADA Opportunities and Resources for Child Care Providers and Families First Edition 2001 Revised 2012, published by Center for Children with Special Needs and the Washington State Department of Health.   
Picture
Child care homes and centers must make reasonable modifications to their policies and practices to integrate children with disabilities into their program unless doing so would constitute a fundamental alteration of the program.
Picture
Centers must provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services needed for effective communication with children with disabilities, when doing so would not constitute an undue burden. 
Picture
Centers cannot exclude children with disabilities from their programs unless their presence would pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others or require a fundamental alteration of the program. 

Terms and Explanations

​​Direct Threat
​
This is defined as a child’s health condition posing a significant threat to the safety and wellbeing of the other children in care. Caregivers must determine this based on factual evidence and not assumptions or stereotypes. Some examples may be: a history of violence, or a communicable disease.
​​Undue Burden
​
Changes or alterations to the program that would incur significant cost or difficulty. 
​​Reasonable Modifications
​
This refers to changes that can be made to a program without too much expense or difficulty. These are unique to each program and can include simple things such as lowering hooks for jackets and backpacks.
​Auxiliary Aids and Services
​
These are communication assistance programs, services, or devices and include a wide range of things from an interpreter to assistive technology. 
​​​Each program has its own set of unique features and components that alter each of these potential categories and how they may or may not be interpreted. The biggest take-away from these terms is to examine your program to see what a reasonable modification looks like and to avoid any undue burdens or direct threats. Typically there are multiple options without spending much money or extended effort to be ADA compliant in a reasonable manner.
