Planning Accessible Activities
Accessible Activities
Some of your events may be more interactive and will require more care and attention to accessibility. For instance, if you are planning a march or arts and crafts event, you will want to consider how to make these events accessible to people with varying disabilities. For instance, how will you ensure that people with mobility disabilities feel included in the march? How will you make sure that the arts and crafts materials are accessible to people with sight disabilities? If you are planning to have a rally that allows survivors to share their stories publicly be sure to have ASL interpreters available for Deaf survivors to participate.
In general, you should work to ensure that people with disabilities serve on your planning committees. However, this is especially important when planning activities such as marches, arts and crafts, or speak outs. In fact, if you do not already have an existing collaboration with your community’s disability providers and Deaf community, this would be an ideal way to begin building one.
