The Disability Compliance Office’s primary function is to support county departments and their employees.  It does offer some limited information and referral services to the community at large.  It is also responsible for providing technical assistance and staff support to a community advisory group, the Sacramento County Disability Advisory Committee to the Board of Supervisors, representing the disability community.

• Coordinate reasonable accommodations for all county employees and job applicants with disabilities as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).  A reasonable accommodation is a logical adjustment made to a job and/or the environment that enables an otherwise qualified person with a disability to perform the essential functions of their positions.

• Provide information and technical assistance to all county agencies and departments to assist them in designing and implementing programs, policies and procedures that will bring the county into compliance with the ADA, California Code of Regulations Title 24 and other federal and state laws that pertain to disability access.

• Train county employees on their rights and responsibilities under the ADA/FEHA, and provide information on disability sensitivity and inclusive workplace strategies.
