RAVEN HILL DISCOVERY CENTER ACCESSIBILITY PLAN

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), Raven Hill Discovery Center is committed to ensuring that individuals with disabilities are not denied an opportunity to participate in and benefit from any service, program, or activity, offered by the Center.

Individuals with disabilities are welcome to participate in and benefit from the events at our facility. Raven Hill Board and staff wish to assist in making sure that every event is a memorable experience for all.

ACCESS TO SERVICES, PROGRAMS & ACTIVITIES

Raven Hill Discovery Center has made modifications in its facilities and exhibits to provide accessibility for persons with disabilities. Raven Hill staff and contractors ensure that new buildings and upgrades to facilities are ADA compliant. Raven Hill staff responds to visitors when modifications are needed and requested to ensure that services, programs and activities provided are readily accessible by individuals with disabilities. Outreach programs are modified so that they are readily accessible. The Center gives priority to those methods that will provide the services, programs and activities in the most integrated setting appropriate to the needs of all people, including those individuals with disabilities.
