Disability Access and Rights in California

Specific information on disability access in California for both citizens and businesses is available at www.disabilityaccessinfo.ca.gov .

The California Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) was designated by the Office of the Governor to serve as the lead state agency in California's efforts to implement the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in state government. The Disability Access Section (DAS) was established in 1992 to promote disability rights in state government and DOR partnerships in the community.

The Section serves as a centralized resource for providing public information, training, and technical assistance on the Fair Employment Housing Act (FEHA), ADA, and other related disability laws.

DAS program is not involved in enforcement of these laws.

Services are provided to state entities, agencies, and One-Stop service delivery systems serving persons with disabilities and employers. Our dedicated staff has 150+ collective years of professional experiences in training, employment services, vocational rehabilitation, physical access, and program assessments.

We provide comprehensive consulting services and technical assistance in the following areas:

• Disability Awareness
• Employment Issues
• Accessibility to Programs and Services
• Physical Access Surveys
• Publications
• Referral and Resources
