Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired is committed to complying with all of the applicable provisions of the Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504) and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). Miami Lighthouse is dedicated to
providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all clients. In addition to an accessible facility, we will provide reasonable accommodation to
individuals with disabilities who wish to participate in public involvement events or who require special assistance to access facilities, programs,
services or activities. Because providing reasonable accommodation may require outside assistance, organization or resources,
Miami Lighthouse asks that requests be made at least five (5) calendar days prior to the need for accommodation.
To initiate request or for concerns and comments, please contact Chief Program Officer, Carol Brady-Simmons at
csimmons@miamilighthouse.org or call 786-362-7480 at least (5) five days in advance to initiate your request.
