This survey is intended to gather preliminary data to assist the planning team in identifying any barriers to access for individuals with disabilities at Town facilities or within the programs and services it currently offers. Once the initial study is completed, the Town will solicit additional input on how to best address any deficiencies that are found.
Please note an individual is considered disabled under the ADA if they have one or more physical or mental impairments that substantially limit(s) one or more major life activities. This broad interpretation should be considered in your responses to the questions in this survey. To learn more about federal ADA regulations, please view https://www.ada.gov/topics/intro-to-ada/. All responses to this survey are confidential and completely separate from any personally identifiable information. If you would like to have further discussion regarding your experience, you will be given the chance to request it at the end of the survey.
If you need assistance in completing this brief survey, or would prefer to complete a paper copy, please contact Kevin Cogan at kcogan@abingtonma.gov or 781-982-0069.
