Register for Understanding Your Ecosystem: Stakeholder Mapping

What audience do you have in mind when booking meetings, designing programming, and developing resources? Much of what restricts people from participating in meetings and events is not their disability, but, rather, an inaccessible environment. Developing accessibility literacy goes beyond simple space considerations. In this workshop, we will provide considerations for planning accessible meetings and events, provide guidelines to follow for print documents as well as develop an understanding of appropriate and inappropriate disability terminology and imagery. 

Learning Objectives: 

Heather Hiscock
  • Tools for planning accessible meetings and events
