The Department of Justice (DOJ) recently published new ADA
guidance on conducting accessible and inclusive meetings. The
28-page guide, "Accessible Information Exchange: Meeting on a Level
Playing Field," covers access to meeting sites as well as
presentations, printed materials and other forms of communication.
Information is provided on how to evaluate the accessibility of
meeting rooms, parking, routes and entrances, and restrooms. This
guidance also covers the layout of meeting spaces, accessible
circulation and seating, provision of printed materials in
accessible formats, and making audible communication accessible
through assistive listening systems, real-time captioning, and sign
language interpretation. |
