Title II Notice

In accordance with the requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) will not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of disability in its activities, programs, and services.

Effective Communication

One of the ways PP&R ensures it is effectively communicating with people with disabilities is by providing at no charge appropriate communication aids and services.

Examples of appropriate aids and services PP&R could provide include:

• accessible electronic documents

• assistive listening devices

• braille documents

• reader/transcriber

• sign language

Modifications to Policies and Procedures

Introduction of Reasonable Modification

PP&R will reasonably modify its policies, practices, and procedures so people with disabilities can access PP&R activities, facilities, programs, and services; furthermore, PP&R will provide reasonable modifications quickly, easily, and without requiring proof of disability.

Defining Reasonable Modification

A reasonable modification is a change or exception to policy, practice, or procedure that allows people with disabilities to have equal access to the activities, facilities, programs, and services offered by PP&R. Reasonable modifications must always be related to an existing disability.

When requesting a reasonable modification to a policy, practice, or procedure, an individual with a disability is not required to provide medical documentation or information about a diagnosis, but they must be able to explain how their disability relates to the requested modification.

Getting Help

Whether you call 311 or complete either of the online forms, your information will be submitted to the PP&R staff best able to assist you.
