Hanif asks how many staffers work solely on Project Equal Access. Rivera says the team has three members, with one recently added in the reorganization, and other intervention staff handle non-physical reasonable accommodation requests.

And how many staffers are dedicated solely to Project Equal Access?

Stephanie Rivera

Project Equal Access has three members.

One was recently added in the reorganization, although pre-complaint interventions for individuals with disabilities can run the gamut.

Stephanie Rivera

And so we do have other staff members in our intervention work that focus on reasonable accommodation requests that do not require some sort of physical modification.

Shahana K. Hanif

Understood.
