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.
