Help with insulin? Not so fast. IMSA has a long history of exclusionary communications (click here).IMSA operates summer camps for younger children, which is certainly commendable. Unfortunately, executives refuse to enforce basic standards of professional decency that apply even to privately operated camps. Title II of the ADA
requires public programs for children to assist in the administration of insulin and other medications in order to ensure equal access. IMSA has a long history of attempting to exclude children from such programs by messaging that help with medications
will not be provided. It is also notable that the
summer camps webpage, among others, violates Illinois law by failing to comply with
IITAA accessibility standards for state agencies. (Update: the rather odd, relatively hostile language on IMSA's website has been updated approximately 03/07/2025 to now indicate that requests for medication accommodations will be “considered.” It still does not comply with state accessibility law.)
