The Kenosha County ADRC's Dementia Specialist offers Memory Screens throughout the week, not just on Mondays! Memory screens can provide relief for individuals concerned about normal memory loss, lead to diagnosis of treatable conditions and offer the ability to make lifestyle changes early when they have the greatest potential for positive effect and the opportunity to participate in making future decisions. Screening results are not a diagnosis, and individuals who have concerns are encouraged to pursue a full medical exam. We recommend making an appointment, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Call the ADRC 262-605-6646.

Happy 36th anniversary to the Americans with Disabilities Act!

Happy 36th anniversary to the Americans with Disabilities Act! Don’t forget to register for our upcoming webinar, where we will join regional ADA Centers and the ADA Knowledge Translation Center in celebrating two significant milestones: the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the 35th anniversary of the ADA National Network, which includes the Great Lakes ADA Center.

The mission of the ADA National Network is to increase awareness and knowledge of the ADA, with the ultimate goal of promoting voluntary compliance with the law. This mission is achieved through customized training, technical assistance, research, and the development and dissemination of informational resources.

During this two-hour webinar, each of the 10 regional ADA Centers will highlight how they support this mission and the impact their work has had in promoting voluntary compliance and ADA education.

Participants will learn more about the resources and initiatives available in their region and how we can continue working together to create a more accessible future.

Date: Thursday, July 30, 2026
Time: 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM Eastern Time Zone
Registration required: bit.ly/ada36th
