Making Your Organization Accessible to People With Disabilities
Nov 18, 2014
One out of five people live with some type of a disability. If the environment or information is not sufficiently designed, people with disabilities are not able to participate in the life of an organization.
In this presentation we are going to look at the needs of people with disabilities (sight, hearing, extremities), how can we make a difference in their lives, and how this effort benefits everyone.
The following topics will be covered:
Physical accessibility
Accessibility of information
Extending services to all
Legislation and the right things to do
How do people with disabilities access services and information?
How helping to involve others can benefit you
