Foundational Accessible Communications: Building Inclusive Practices for Disability Communities (Facilitated by Detroit Disability Power)

This event has already taken place. See upcoming events

This foundational 1-hour workshop explores why and how organizations can reach disabled audiences—approximately 30% of the population—through accessible internal and external communications. Participants will learn practical definitions of accessible communications, understand the value of including the disability community, and discover realistic strategies for incremental change.

The training bridges legal minimums with community standards, providing concrete examples of accessible communication practices and modeling sustainable approaches that align with organizational capacity. Whether you're beginning your accessibility journey or strengthening existing practices, this workshop offers actionable commitments and strategies to help your organization develop inclusive communications that serve everyone.
