What is a Twitter Chat?

Great question! Our Twitter Chats are hour-long question and answer sessions held on Twitter. You can tune in for all or some of the chat. We have everything from specific trivia to open-ended questions and polls. Participants can share their answers to our questions, as well as receiving additional resources and information from the ADA National Network and regional ADA Centers. These chats are a great opportunity to connect with other individuals, organizations, and groups in the disability community and get information about common ADA questions. Each chat will highlight a different topic related to the Americans with Disabilities Act. To learn more about Twitter Chats, watch this brief tutorial video: Twitter Chat Basics [3:24 min., CC]. Learn more about How to Participate in Twitter Chats with this ASL video from HEARD. This month, we will be featuring the answers to many of the regional ADA Centers’ most frequently asked questions!

Do I need a Twitter account to follow along?

You can keep up with the questions and answers on Twitter without making an account. Simply check out our profile @ADANational or search #ADANetworkChat and sort by latest.

Can I participate if I don’t have access to Twitter?

Following each Twitter Chat, we share a Twitter Moment which captures the highlights. This allows those who aren’t active on Twitter to get the resources from the event without having to follow along live.

How do I add to the discussion?

To tweet you must have a Twitter account. You can tweet your questions and answers about accessibility and the ADA with the hashtag #ADANetworkChat. You can sign up for a free Twitter account, but it isn’t required to follow along with this event.

Questions covering during Twitter Chat

As the Twitter Chat approaches, the event page on the ADA National Network website will be updated with the questions we’ll be covering so that you can prepare your answers in advance.
