ADA Access for All Guillaume & Co. LLC

Home / Expertise

Areas of expertise

One firm across the whole obligation.

Technical conformance and legal compliance are not the same thing. A product can pass every check and leave an organization exposed, because these statutes also reach accommodation, process, support, documentation and employment. The practice covers both halves, across the full set of statutes that bind an organization rather than the one everyone has heard of.

Areas of expertise

These areas track the competency framework published by the ADA Coordinator Certification program, paired with the federal Section 508 testing methodology.

ADA Coordinator program administration

Standing up or repairing the Coordinator function: designation, public notice, delegated authority, and the internal accountability that makes the role real rather than nominal.

28 CFR 35.107(a)

Self-evaluations and transition plans

The two documents every public entity is required to hold, and few can produce on request. Written to be handed to counsel, a board, or an OCR investigator without rework.

28 CFR 35.105 and 35.150

Grievance procedures and complaint resolution

The procedure itself, the investigation that follows, and the written record. Entities lose these matters on process and documentation far more often than on the underlying facts.

28 CFR 35.107(b)

Accessible information technology and assistive technology

Manual conformance testing of websites, portals and native mobile applications against the federal standard, with screen reader and assistive technology evaluation rather than scanning alone.

WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508

Effective communication and auxiliary aids

Auxiliary aids and services analysis across public contact points, including where digital channels quietly become the only practical way to reach a program.

28 CFR 35.160

Title I employment and accommodation casework

Full interactive process administration: intake, essential functions analysis, medical documentation handling, undue hardship analysis, and written outcomes that survive an EEOC charge. Coordination where the ADA meets FMLA, workers compensation and state leave law. The practice administers and documents the process; it does not render legal determinations.

29 CFR Part 1630

Program-side accommodation and modification

Reasonable modification of policies, practices and procedures for members of the public, with an intake path and a record that makes each decision reviewable.

Title II and Section 504

International and multi-jurisdiction conformance

EN 301 549 evaluation, the European Accessibility Act, and the Web Accessibility Directive for public sector bodies. INT edition conformance reports covering Section 508, EN 301 549 and WCAG in one document.

EN 301 549

Title II program and service access

Program access for municipalities, counties, school districts and public authorities, across the full inventory of services a resident deals with.

28 CFR Part 35

Accessible design standards and the built environment

Barrier identification surveys against the design standards, so digital and physical findings arrive in one plan rather than two disconnected reports. Design certification and sealed drawings are architectural practice and are referred out.

2010 ADA Standards

Building accessibility profiles

Facility-by-facility accessibility documentation across a building portfolio: pathway and entrance, corridors, elevators and lifts, assembly and program spaces, restrooms, evacuation provisions and assistive listening. Each building carries a rating against defined criteria, and the record is kept current as buildings are altered.

Facility inventory for transition planning

Emergency preparedness and program access

Emergency notification, sheltering and continuity planning evaluated for access, where accessibility failure carries the highest consequence of any program area.

Title II program access

Recreation, arts and public programming access

Parks, recreation facilities, cultural programming and public events, a segment municipalities consistently underweight until a complaint arrives.

2010 ADA Standards and Title II

Disability community issues, language and aging

Plain-language fluency and an aging-population lens, so staff training lands with people who have never read the regulation and never will.

ADA Titles I through V

Statutes and standards the practice works under

Accessibility obligation does not sit in one statute. Most organizations are covered by several at once, enforced by different agencies on different timelines.

Coverage means the practice will scope, deliver and sign work under these. Where a matter requires a licensed architect or an attorney, it is referred out and said so in writing.
