Disability types and access strategies

It’s important to understand the various disability types and what access strategies each attendee might require.

Before the meeting

Preparation for making accessible and inclusive meetings is essential. The more work you can do prior to your meeting, the smoother and more inclusive the experience will be for everyone.

During the meeting

Accessibility is also important during your meeting.

After the meeting

Any materials distributed after the meeting including notes, transcripts, etc. should be in an accessible format.
