The Accessibility Directorate of Ontario (ADO) was established to manage the implementation of the AODA by developing and enforcing the current accessibility standards. Legislation requires that the effectiveness of the regulations, standards and policies be reviewed every four years and that all the standards be reviewed by a Standards Development Committee within five years of being enacted in regulation. The ADO intends to begin the review of the Transportation Standard in 2015.\nIn order to meet current commitments and ensure accessibility for all Ontarians is achieved by 2025, the Ontario government has begun to shift focus to areas where the current standards can be improved, as well as areas where new standards need to be assessed and developed in order for barriers to be removed and the overall goals of the AODA reached. Supported by the Minister’s 2014 Mandate Letter, developing new standards in the areas of Healthcare and Education was identified throughout the Moran review’s consultation process and serves as one of the report’s final recommendations.\nThe purpose of this Final Report is to summarize and analyze the results of secondary research gathered by KPMG LLP for an engagement with the Accessibility Directorate of Ontario (ADO) on accessibility in the transportation, healthcare and education sectors. The research questions guiding this project were:\nHow are other jurisdictions or leading organizations working to make public sector transportation and taxi services more accessible to people with disabilities?\nHow are other jurisdictions or leading organizations working to make healthcare more acc","cbCair07l0UROVFB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair07l0UROVFB","docx",732694,375,"English","en",105,"# Executive Summary\n# Introduction\n# Jurisdictional Scan – Education\n# Literature Review\n# Emerging Trends and Issues\n# Industry Leaders and Experts\n# Leading Practices\n# Conclusion\n# References\n# Appendix – Research Findings","[{\"question\":\"What is the AODA and what timeline does it target?\",\"answer\":\"The AODA, 2005, sets accessibility standards for private and public sectors, with a goal of making Ontario accessible by 2025.\"},{\"question\":\"Why was this final report commissioned?\",\"answer\":\"It summarizes and analyzes KPMG LLP secondary research collected for an engagement with the Accessibility Directorate of Ontario (ADO) to support accessibility improvements, with education receiving focused analysis.\"},{\"question\":\"How was accessibility in education assessed in the report?\",\"answer\":\"The report examined 24 jurisdictions, reviewing regulations, standards, policies, and programs supporting equitable education access for people with disabilities, and comparing Ontario’s position and leading practices.\"}]","Directorate of Ontario -
