Making Events and Meetings Accessible to All

Do you remember a time when people around you broke out in laughter, but you didn’t hear the joke? Be careful not to leave out information for some people in your audience. Presentations that are accessible to people with disabilities are also inclusive to many more audiences. This presentation will discuss ways to make your meetings and events accessible to everyone by providing all attendees with the tools they need to plan an accessible event.

Please contact Emily Lucio at ADAcoordinator@umd.edu or 301-405-2841 at least five (5) full business days prior to the event to request any reasonable accommodations to participate in the event. In all situations, a good faith effort (up until the time of the event) will be made to provide accommodations.
