                             Acknowledgment

A  note  of  appreciation  to Kimberly  S.  Morecraft,  M.A.,  Vocation
Specialist, formerly  of Siouxland Rehabilitation Center,  Sioux  City,
and Nina S. Golden, M.A./P.T., of the Work Fitness Center, Moline, IL &
Bettendorf,  IA, for reviewing the ADA Position Analyzer!  and  sharing
their   professional  knowledge  of  rehabilitation  and   occupational
medicine as it relates to ADA.  Special mention goes to  Monica Coffey,
Human Resources Intern at St. Luke's Health System, Inc. in Sioux,  IA,
who  tirelessly  tested  the   Analyzer!   through   many   frustrating
versions.   Without their efforts and those of many other contributors,
the ADA Position Analyzer! would never have  been developed.

                         ADA Position Analyzer!

Beginning  July 26,  1992,   the Americans with Disabilities Act  (ADA)
required  employers with 25 or more employees to  consider   reasonable
accommodations for individuals with disabilities that create a  barrier
to employment.   Beginning July 26,  1994,  employers  with 15 or  more
employees will be covered by the Act.

To   meet  the  requirements  of  ADA,   organizations  will  need   to
aggressively:

     *  Review job descriptions
     *  Review physical activities & environmental aspects of all jobs
     *  Establish procedures for analyzing essential functions of jobs
     *  Determine how to successfully match jobs with  applicants or           
        employees with disabilities
     *  Plan to meet reasonable accommodation requirements

ADA's impact on all employment-related activities will be far reaching,
including the application process, hiring, promotion, and  termination.
Most  important for employers will be in understanding the  actual  job
for  which  an  individual is applying or works.   As   a  result,  job
descriptions will be critical in meeting the ADA challenge.

The  ADA  Position Analyzer!  has been developed to  respond  to  these
challenges.     To  successfully  comply  with  ADA,   employers   must
completely  analyze each job specifically.    The  Analyzer!  can  help
organizations with a carefully constructed analysis of every   position
in the workplace.   The  Analyzer!  assists managers and incumbents  to
systematically:

        *    Analyze Physical Activities
        *    Determine Environmental Conditions
        *    Include Essential Functions
        *    Record Equipment and Machines Utilized

        By  presenting a series of screens from which the  manager  and
position  incumbent can select Physical Activities  and   Environmental
Aspects of the job,  the ADA Position Analyzer!  demands an  aggressive
examination  of  each position.   Optional screens   are  available  to 
request  information  on Essential Duties and Machines &  Equipment  to
include in the Analyzer!'s evaluation for  those employers who have not
yet developed job descriptions.
After  each  position has been analyzed,  the  ADA  Position  Analyzer!
records  and  saves  the  data in  a  permanent  file.   Each  position 
analysis can be printed and used for:

          * Department and Human Resource Records
          * Interview Guidelines
          * Application Information
          * ADA Training
          * Determining Reasonable Accommodations
          * Evidence in Defense of Legal Action

To be completely effective, the ADA Position Analyzer!  works best in a
dynamic environment that includes the manager and  the incumbent of the
position being analyzed.  The direct knowledge of these individuals can
be  integrated to gain the most insight  into the requirements of  each
position.

                                 * * *

                  ADA Position Analyzer! Installation

The following is necessary to run the Analyzer!:

          * IBM PC or 100% Compatible Computer
          * DOS 3.1 or Higher
          * 360 K of Free Memory
          *  Dot Matrix Printer which emulates an Epson or IBM  printer
          or an HP LaserJet Laser Printer

The  Analyzer!  is designed so that no special installation  procedures
are  required,  but  making a back-up disk is  suggested.    Place  the
Analyzer! Program Disk in  Drive A:> and Blank disk in Drive B:> (for a
dual  floppy system) or in Drive A:> (for a  single floppy system)  and
type the following:
  
                DISKCOPY A: B: (For a Dual Floppy System)
                DISKCOPY A: A: (For a Single Floppy System)

To install the Analyzer! on a hard drive, put the Program Disk in Drive
A:> (with the prompt set to A:>) and complete the following  steps:

                MD C:\ADA!
                COPY *.* C:\ADA!

To  begin using the ADA Position Analyzer!,  place the Program Disk  in
Drive A:> and type: ADA! or from the Hard Drive C:>ADA!\, type  ADA!.

The Analyzer!  is ready to analyze any position in the organization and
will  lead  management  and  position  incumbents  through    carefully
constructed  screens  to  examine  Physical  Activities,  Environmental
Aspects, Essential Duties, and Machines and Equipment.

                              * * *

                Making the Analyzer! Work for You

An  agreement  statement  appears  the  first  time  the  ADA  Position
Analyzer!  is used.  To be able to access the Analyzer!, the user  must
indicate  agreement  with  the  terms of  the  ADA  Position  Analyzer!
contract  as  stated  in  this software  manual.   Once  the  terms  of 
agreement have been accepted, the Analyzer! Introduction Screen will be
presented. After this initial confirmation of the licensing  agreement,
the Term's Screen will not appear when using the ADA Position Analyzer!
in the future.

The Introductory Screen offers the following choices:

          * Analyze ADA Data
          * Enter Duties, Equipment & ADA Data
          * Change Previously Entered Data
          * Delete ADA Data
          * Print Reports
          * Quit
          * Setup Options

When Analyze ADA Data is selected by moving the cursor to this position
and  pressing <ENTER>,  a series of questions directly  related to  the
physical  activities and environmental conditions of theposition  being
analyzed  are  presented.    When  an  organization   already  has  job
descriptions  that  do not require revision,   this option   should  be
selected.

When an organization has job descriptions that require revision or does
not have job descriptions, move the cursor to Enter Duties,   Equipment 
& ADA Data and press <ENTER>.  This option  provides an opportunity  to
enter  Essential  Duties  and Machines &  Equipment   utilized  in  the
position  in addition to providing analysis of Physical Activities  and
Environmental Aspects of the position.

Regardless of which of the two preceding screens the reviewer  selects,
five screens will follow:

          * Position Number
          * Position Title
          * Department Number
          * Department Title
          * Evaluator's Name
 
After this information has been entered, the reviewer will enter Duties
and  Equipment  if  that  selection was made  and/or  ADA  Data.    The
Analyzer!  presents  several  screens  which  ask  basic  questions  on
physical  activities  and  environmental  aspects  of  the  job.    The 
evaluator   selects the dgree to which these relate to the position  by 
moving  the cursor  from  "NONE"  to a range of percentage  choices  or  
answers  questions  posed about the position.   Some screens  offer  an 
additional  option that allows the reviewer to record  "notes"    about
the position.

Once the selection is made with the <ENTER> key,  the next question  is
asked.

After  the  reviewer has completed the analysis of  the  position,  the
Analyzer!  prompts  the evaluator to save the data  and/or  print   it. 
Following selection of these options,  the introductory screen  appears
for the next analysis or exit.

The  evaluator  can  call up, review,  and  change  previously  entered
information  by selecting Change Previously Entered Data.    Previously
entered  positions  can be deleted by selecting the  Delete  ADA  Data. 
Previously  evaluated positions can be printed by  utilizing the  Print
Reports options.

The  Setup  Option  allows  the  reviewer  to  perform  the   following
activities:

          *  Set Screen Colors;
          *  Set Report Form Length for Printing;
          *  Set/Maintain  Data Files - Separate  data  files   can  be
          developed for departments, divisions and/or companies;
          *  Modify/Create Report  Footer - Provides the ability to           
          create a statement at the end of the report as a notice or as
           a disclaimer;
          *  Re-index/Purge Data Files - Allows the Analyzer!  to remove
          files that have been deleted and to arrange all new files;
          * Save Setup Options; and
          * Exit

The  ADA  Position Analyzer!  is a simple and complete  way  to  review
positions and to assist organizations in meeting the challenges  of ADA
compliance.   Designed  to  assist  supervisors,  employees  and  those
seeking positions better understand the dynamics of each  position, the
Analyzer!  helps make appropriate selections, placements, and transfers
so  that  both the organization and people with   disabilities  can  be
successful.
