A Connecticut Judicial Branch advisory board has released a report with 16 ideas for improving access to court buildings for people with disabilities, including suggestions for adding training sessions for court staff.

The Judicial Branch should also increase information about handicapped parking at courthouses on its website, and “consider posting way-finding signage between elevators and/or stairs that also include distances,” the advisory board said in its report.
