The main goal of Title III is to ensure that all children with disabilities have the opportunity to participate in the child care centers services and programs.
Centers can not deny a child because of their disability unless the child is
"a
direct threat to the health or safety of others or require a
fundamental
alteration of the program"
Centers
have to make reasonable
modifications
to their policies and
practices to integrate children, parents, and
guardians with disabilities into
their programs.
Centers
must generally make their facilities accessible to persons with
disabilities. Existing facilities are subject to the readily
achievable
standard
for barrier removal, while newly constructed facilities and
any altered
portions of existing facilities must be fully
accessible.
Centers
must provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services needed for
effective
communication
with children or adults with disabilities, when
doing so would not
constitute an undue
burden.
