Where is the form provided to request a reasonable accommodation? The form is available from every webpage related to the Courts (starting with https://www.adamscountypa.gov/courts/courtadministration/courtadatitleiipolicy). The form can also be obtained by calling Court Administration at (717) 337-9846, requesting a form and providing a mailing address.
When should the form be filed? The form should be filed as soon as a person with a disability knows they need an accommodation. The Court ADA Coordinator will usually need to receive the request at least five business days before the accommodation is needed.
Who gets this information? The request should be submitted to the Court ADA Coordinator. Information regarding how to contact the Court ADA Coordinator is available below.
Must all requests be granted? The ADA does not require the Adams County Court of Common Pleas to take any action that would fundamentally alter the nature of its programs or services, or impose an undue financial or administrative burden. If a request for accommodation is denied on either of those grounds, the person with a disability will receive a written explanation with the reason why the requested accommodation was denied.
How will I be notified? You will be notified as you requested in Section A of the "Request for Reasonable Accommodation Form". Also, you will receive a written "Notice of Accommodation".
