Accessible Information Exchange: Meeting on a Level Playing Field

Accessible Meeting Location

People attending a meeting are concerned about where to find parking, the building entrance, the meeting room, and restrooms. People with disabilities are no exception. Accessible meeting locations are of primary importance to people with mobility disabilities; accessible locations also ensure easier movement for people who are blind or have low vision.
