Nondiscrimination and Access

Applicable law prohibits disability discrimination in public accommodations and requires covered businesses to provide full and equal access to their goods and services. The New York State Human Rights Law also prohibits covered public accommodations from denying accommodations, advantages, facilities, or privileges because of disability.

Reasonable Modifications and Effective Communication

When required by applicable law, the Practice will make reasonable modifications to policies, practices, or procedures that are necessary to provide access to a person with a disability, unless the modification would fundamentally alter the nature of the service. When required by applicable law, the Practice will take necessary steps to provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services for effective communication, unless doing so would result in an undue burden or fundamental alteration under the governing legal standard.

Website Accessibility

The Practice seeks to maintain website content and functions in a manner that can be used by people with disabilities, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, browser zoom, and other assistive technologies. The U.S. Department of Justice states that Title III nondiscrimination and effective-communication requirements apply to the goods and services that public accommodations offer on the web. DOJ does not prescribe a single detailed technical standard for private Title III websites and identifies WCAG as helpful technical guidance.

If a website feature, document, link, or third-party form creates a disability-related barrier, the Practice will address the access request in accordance with applicable law. A written accessibility statement is not a substitute for providing actual access.
