Guidance
“[…] They had this training for us to take and it wasn’t downloaded, the information wasn’t captioned. We didn’t have an interpreter. By the time they got us the information […] it wasn’t complete. So it’s a whole system issue. I think we need to look at this from the top all the way to the frontline service people.”
“[People with disabilities are a] diverse group […] with disparate needs. The challenge is to involve everyone while at the same time dealing with their unique needs.”
“Accessibility can’t just be [about] checking a box. […] It’s not just for main events, it’s not just for […] these huge quarterly meetings. […] [It’s about] weekly meetings, phone calls, [everything we do needs to be] accessible. It needs to be for everybody.”
