The Department of Justice today announced a settlement agreement under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) with Intellitec Colleges in Colorado Springs, Grand Junction and Pueblo to ensure access to its technical colleges for individuals with disabilities.
Intellitec offers career training programs for automotive technicians, drafting, medical and dental assistants, administrative professionals and more at its three campuses. The agreement requires, among other things, that Intellitec remove barriers to access at its existing facilities, ensure that future construction complies with the ADA, and ensure that any future alterations to existing facilities are, to the maximum extent feasible, readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities. The agreement with Intellitec is the result of a compliance review conducted by the department.
"This agreement with a long-standing technical school will help ensure that job skills training is available to everyone, including individuals with disabilities," said Thomas E. Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. "It is a top priority of the Justice Department to enforce the laws that guarantee that persons with disabilities have equal access to educational opportunities and the doors those opportunities open."
The ADA prohibits discrimination by public accommodations on the basis of disability, including nursery, elementary, secondary, undergraduate or postgraduate private schools, and other places of education. Those interested in finding out more about these agreements or seeking information about and how to comply with the ADA can find out more at www.ada.gov.

One I can not pass my ase test to save my life . . 2 I was told about job placement. Uhh still in fast food and my tools are just gathering dust. 3 for the one job that they did try to get me I was under skilled at. I have a medical issue with my back and it's getting worse . . The arthritis is just eating my spine up .. what I'm not understanding is why. My money issues should not allowed me to attend school cuz I really can not afford it. I don't make 20.000 dollars in fast food in 5 years . So why was I allowed to attend a 20.000 school with server credit issues. I just don't get it . Hell it's been so long now I forget how to work on cars now . I had B's and C's but still that's not enough.. I can't pay for school plan and really not so simple cuz no one ever gave me a chance. Not as a car stereo installer not as a tire changer . Not like I can handle the extra weight cuz I can't . I gave up on people cuz to me it was all a lie so I just don't not anymore
