Biography


Peter Berg currently serves as the ADA Technical Assistance Coordinator for the Great Lakes Center. He joined the Center in October of 2000 and has since conducted trainings for a wide range of audiences, including Federal agencies, local and state governments, public and private employers and a variety of businesses. Peter has served and continues to serve on a wide range of disability related committees at the University and within the Great Lakes region. His personal experience with employment discrimination based on disability has given him a different perspective in the employment arena as both an employee with a disability and a manager of over 25 employees. He utilizes this experience and his knowledge of the ADA to work effectively with employers and employees to understand the reasonable accommodation process. In addition, Peter is a strong advocate of accessible environments and has been an active advocate for accessibility in the community where he and his family live.
