可访问性问题

Making the 艺术 accessible to 内华达ns of all cultures and abilities, without prejudice to geographic or economic status, is a priority for the od体育彩票 (NAC). Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act states, 在某种程度上, that “no otherwise qualified person with a disability… shall solely by reason of their disability be excluded from the participation in, 被剥夺了…的利益, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” The NAC encourages its grantees and partners to view accessibility as both a philosophic commitment and a business practice. Methods to address diversity in your community include involving individuals from diverse populations and/or organizations in the planning, 实现, 对项目进行评估和跟踪. By making 内华达’s 艺术 and cultural programs, 活动, 信息, and facilities accessible and usable to all people, 不论有无残疾, we open the door to a new and expanded audience of participants, 顾客和倡导者.
