"Demystifying the Interplay of the ADA with FMLA and Workers' Compensation"

ADA-OHIO Preconference Monday, April 11, 2005
1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Approved for 3.25 recertification credit hours toward PHR and SPHR Recertification through the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI).

Approved by the Ohio Supreme Court Commission on Continuing Legal Education for 3.00 total CLE credit hours, with 0.00 of ethics, 0.00 hours of professionalism, and 0.00 of substance abuse instruction.

The ADA, FMLA, and Workers' Compensation laws have been in existence for some time. Determining how these laws interact to protect the rights of both employees and employers can seem overwhelming because some of the regulations are technical, complex, and subject to interpretation. Attorneys from EEOC, private practice, and Workers' Compensation will help participants to understand how these laws complement one another and how to assure the requirements of all are met. Each of the three attorneys will present content related to one of the three laws and explain the interaction with the other two laws. Practical problems drawn from the participants will also be discussed. This kind of forum provides information equivalent to hundreds of hours of reading!

What Human Resource practitioners should expect to gain from the seminar:

1) A refresher and an update in each area for even the most knowledgeable in these areas: All HR practitioners need to be refreshed and updated, especially if they don't handle a large volume of these situations. In addition, understanding and interpreting the policies and regulations is an ongoing process.

2) A better understanding of how and where the three areas overlap and diverge with respect to each other: HR practitioners need to be as well informed as possible to protect the employee or organization member as well as the company or organization.

3) The benefit of reviewing applications of the various policies and regulations in the form of case studies and other real experiences: One rarely has the opportunity to listen to and question experts of the caliber of those who are presenting this seminar.

4) An excellent opportunity for participants to expand their knowledge networks: An important part of this forum is the chance to meet other HR practitioners who have similar challenges and practical solutions to them.

"On The Edge of a New Frontier: Moving Faculty Training Forward."

Faculty and Administrator Modules in Higher Education (FAME) Preconference Presentations. Monday, April 12, 2005, 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. or 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Workshops will take place in the Digital Union on The Ohio State University Campus. The afternoon workshop is a repeat of the morning workshop.

In this age of emergent technologies, the Information Highway has touched all aspects of society, including the way we deliver professional development. Technology offers a dimension of flexibility and interactivity to training that pushes the envelope of knowledge dissemination. In the spirit of developing state-of-the-art training mediums, OSU and nationwide collaborators have come together to produce and validate a training curriculum on the accommodations process and good instructional practice called Faculty and Administrator Modules in Higher Education (FAME). Made possible through a three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Education, FAME builds upon existing professional development research conducted at OSU and addresses key topics such as coordinating accommodations, instructing students with Universal Design for Learning principles, and creating accessible web content.

We as professionals are standing at the intersection of research, practice, and technology. As service providers become more overworked and the need to deliver information grows deeper, traditional methods of training must allow for other alternatives. Learn how web-based materials based on three years of research can be used to enhance instructional practice and ultimately improve students’ learning outcomes.

PRESENTERS: Margo Izzo, Program Manager, Special Education & Transition Services, The Nisonger Center for Disabilities, The Ohio State University; L. Scott Lissner, ADA Coordinator, The Ohio State University; Alexa Murray, Project Coordinator, The Nisonger Center for Disabilities; The Ohio State University; Jennifer Aaron, Training Specialist, The Nisonger Center for Disabilities; The Ohio State Unviersity.
