Accessible Presentation / Speaker’s Platform - Talk Show Style
This style is often used for a more conversational presentation, typically with a moderator and one or more guests. Side tables should be provided (for water, notes, or other materials) for each guest. Individuals who use wheelchairs or scooters may need a higher side table than other guests.

Accessible Presentation Area Set-Up
All presentation platforms must be accessible by ADA-compliant ramps (minimum 1” rise per 12” slope, with curbs or handrails on both sides of the ramp). The back edge of the platform should be placed against a wall to eliminate one edge where speakers could possibly fall off . Provide for a 5’ turning radius when presenters will be mobility device users to ensure adequate maneuvering space. Allow additional space for the interpreter for the Deaf and hard of hearing.
