MOD’s mission is to work with state agencies to provide responsible and practical solutions to problems associated with disability by:
- keeping up-to-date with ADA and related federal and state requirements and informing state agency coordinators about practices, policies, interpretations, and changes;
- providing on-going technical assistance to state agencies to address specific concerns or questions;
- providing training to state agencies; and
- coordinating the relationship between state agencies and a consortium of disability agencies including the Massachusetts Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, the Developmental Disability Council, the State Office of Affirmative Action, and the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination.
It is MOD’s policy to recommend the least costly viable alternative consistent with legal requirements. The Massachusetts Office on Disability is located at:
