Accessible Information Exchange – Meeting on a Level Playing Field
admin 24 Jun 2010 | : Accessibility, Reasonable Accommodations, Resources
The U.S. Department of Justice Civil Right Division Disability Rights Section has developed the Accessible Information Exchange – Meeting on a Level Playing Field. It provides a great overview on presenting meetings that are accessible to people with disabilities. It focuses on three main components – where the meeting is held, how the meeting room furniture is arranged, and how the meeting information is communicated. Even though the focus is people with disabilities, the suggestions will serve a wide range others, including experienced workers, baby boomers and people with temporary disabilities.
