General Accessibility Considerations

  • Ensure that participants on the planning committee are assigned the responsibility for making the event accessible.
  • Be prepared to respond to accommodation requests in the same manner that you respond to other requests and questions about the event.
  • Ensure that the invitation or notice of meeting/conference includes information about the accessibility of the event and how to request accommodations.
  • Investigate what local resources are available when preparing for events (For example: interpreters, accessible transportation, restaurants, emergency services, and wheelchair repair services).
  • Inquire about any accommodation needs of the participants when they register for the event. Schedule the appropriate accommodations as soon as possible after confirming the date of the event.
