DISABILITY ACCESS AND COMPLIANCE SERVICES

King County has a policy and practice of making its programs, services, activities and physical facilities accessible to all members of the public, including qualified individuals with disabilities. OCR’s Disability Compliance Specialist works to ensure that King County departments comply with this policy. We also monitor and support compliance with disability access laws, including Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and the Washington State Law Against Discrimination (RCW 49.60).

What We Do
  • Provide technical assistance to support King County departments in complying with federal, state and local disability access laws.
  • Assist departments and divisions in evaluating their facilities, programs, services, and activities to ensure provision of reasonable accommodations to people with disabilities.
  • Conduct training for King County employees in disability awareness, disability etiquette, disability access laws, and reasonable accommodations.
  • Facilitate the resolution of grievances filed against King County that allege noncompliance with disability access laws.
Jurisdiction and Service Areas
  • Accessibility of King County government programs, services and activities.
  • Accessibility of facilities owned or leased by King County.
