Still on the Clock: ADA Title II Compliance and the Policy Gap in Higher Ed

Webinar
Date: July 14, 2026
Time: 1:00 pm

When the ADA Title II compliance deadline was extended, a lot of institutions exhaled — and a lot of progress stalled. But the clock is still running, the expectations haven’t changed, and the institutions that use this window strategically will be in a very different position than those that wait.

In this 60-minute session, accessibility strategist Dr. Laura Romeo cuts through the confusion to help higher education professionals understand where things actually stand and what the extended timeline really means for your compliance strategy right now.

The session will explore what the deadline extension does and doesn’t change, where most institutions are getting stuck, and why policy development is the step that separates institutions with a real compliance foundation from those with documentation that won’t hold up under scrutiny. Participants will leave with enough context to honestly assess their own institutional readiness and a clearer sense of what meaningful next steps look like.

This session is designed for anyone who touches accessibility at their institution — compliance officers, IT and web teams, academic affairs and instructional design staff, and anyone who has found themselves fielding the question “are we actually compliant?”

Learning Objectives:

• Understand what the ADA Title II deadline extension means — and what it doesn’t give you permission to stop doing
• Recognize the most common compliance gaps institutions are dealing with right now
• Learn what an institutional accessibility policy actually needs to include to be meaningful
• Identify where your institution may be exposed and what a realistic path forward looks like
