The purposes of this manuscript are to create awareness of problems of accessibility at meetings and conferences for people with disabilities, and to provide a checklist for organizers of conferences to make the event more accessible to people with disabilities.
We conducted a search of the grey literature for conference centres and venues that had recommendations for making the event more accessible. The types of disability included in this manuscript are those as a consequence of visual, hearing and mobility impairments.
We provide a checklist to make meetings accessible to people with disabilities. The checklist is divided into sections related to event planning, venue accessibility, venue staff, invitations/registrations, greeting people with a disability, actions during the event, and suggestions for effective presenters.
The checklist can be used by prospective organizers of conferences to plan an event and to ensure inclusion and participation of people with disabilities.
本文的目的是提高人们对残疾人士在会议和大会中可及性问题的认识,并为会议组织者提供一份清单,以使活动对残疾人士更具可及性。
我们搜索了灰色文献,以查找对使活动更具可及性有建议的会议中心和场地。本文所涵盖的残疾类型包括视力、听力和行动能力受损导致的残疾。
我们提供了一份使会议对残疾人士具有可及性的清单。该清单分为与活动策划、场地可及性、场地工作人员、邀请/注册、迎接残疾人士、活动期间的行动以及对高效演讲者的建议等相关的部分。
该清单可供未来的会议组织者用于策划活动,并确保残疾人士能够参与其中。
