4 ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION FOR SPEAKERS AND PROGRAM LEADERS This event is designed to be fully accessible for all participants. The following tips will help all attendees to participate fully. As soon as we know any specific additional needs of persons attending your session we will let you know. Thank you for making these accommodations. Room Layout We will set up the rooms with a minimum of 36 aisles and multiple options regarding seating for people who use mobility aids such as wheelchairs or walkers. Seats will be reserved in the front of the room for participants who have low vision or are hard-of-hearing or deaf. Please avoid placing obstacles, e.g. chairs, power cords, etc., in the aisles. Please let us know what type of table setup would best help you meet the goals of your session. For instance, a circle of chairs or tables set up in a U shape may be effective depending on the type of participant interaction you plan to have. Handouts Please provide us with copies of any handouts two weeks prior to the event, so that we can print the materials and make large print or other alternative-format versions as requested. Select an easily read font and use a legible size, e.g., 12-point font for most items. If you print handouts, use black ink on white or off-white paper for good visual contrast. Visual Aids Flip charts or white boards are helpful for those with hearing loss, but always verbally describe or read anything you are showing visually for the benefit of persons with low vision or blindness. Paint a picture with words. Give verbal directions rather than pointing. For slides and transparencies, limit information to eight lines per slide; use an 18-point font or higher. Choose a legible font and high visual contrast between letters and background. Avoid busy backgrounds which may make the words hard to read. Make sure any videotape you select has closed captioning, and caption any slides you use. For the benefit of persons who are blind or have low vision, either describe what is on the screen or have someone seated next to the person providing full descriptions. Communication Please use the microphones provided, even if you have a voice that carries well, as persons using assistive-listening devices need the input through the PA system. Always face forward when speaking, and keep your hands and the microphone away from your face, so persons who speech-read can see your mouth. Stay in the front of the room, as those in the front row will often be those who need to see your face. If a white board or flip chart is used, recruit a volunteer to do the writing. Never stand in front of a window or strong light, but make sure the light is on your face and that of an interpreter, if provided. If your session is sign language interpreted, speak at a moderate pace and spell any unfamiliar words. Have the interpreter standing or sitting near you so persons watching the interpreter can also see your gestures and facial expressions. If a participant microphone is not provided, please repeat questions before answering them.
5 Control background noise to the extent possible. If you break into small groups you may need to locate one or two quiet areas outside the meeting room to accommodate groups including persons with hearing loss. Language Use people-first language, e.g., people with disabilities instead of the disabled. Avoid using the terms blind and deaf in negative ways, e.g., we turn a deaf ear to God or we are blind to the needs around us. Compiled by Lynn Swedberg, Pacific Northwest Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church
