The ADA and IT Technical Assistance centers collaborated efforts to redesign the ADA Audio Conference to include a new look and format for this season. The 2005-2006 ADA Audio Conference Series is now hosted at new website, www.ada-audio.org.

New this year is the option to listen to the session online using Real-time Streaming Audio. Therefore, the format for the series includes 3 services: Teleconference, real-time captioning and the NEW Service: Real-time Streaming Audio via the Internet. In addition to new services, the program will offer three series intended to provide participants with a concentration in one or more special topic areas. They include Accessible IT (2 sessions), Employment (4 sessions) and Issues Associated with the Built Environment (2 sessions). Each session is scheduled from 1:00 to 2:30 P.M. Central Time (90 minutes). A written transcript and digital recording of each session will be archived on the ADA Audio Conference Series' new web site.
