Disclaimer: The HACP is committed to ensuring that its policies and procedures provide equal access to individuals with disabilities to participate in programs, services, and activities.
If any person with a disability requires an accommodation, such as an accessible feature, or modification to a HACP policy, and makes a request, HACP will grant the request unless doing so would cause changes to the program or an undue financial and administrative burden.
In such case, HACP will grant an alternative request that would meet the needs of the individual and not cause any financial or administrative burdens.
We will consider all requests separately.
