- 38. Examples of Accommodations “ I am considered a low vision person so reading is very difficult for me…I have a special reading glass at home but I wouldn’t bring it in because it’s difficult. I read with one eye. I don’t want the kids to realize that I am that disabled. that’s part of my problem maybe. Because they don't see me as that. I am the grandma that has to be read to. So, they read to me.” - Ruth Koffler Union-Snyder Foster Grandparent Program
- 39. Examples of Accommodations “ I work with AmeriCorps Service for 1 year. I have no interpreter. I only need an interpreter for meetings. I don't need that for work. I just write a note with some members and I taught some members some basic sign language like: "work, breaktime, what, where, why, toilet, see you later, bye, and hi". I can read lips a little bit, not long sentences just two or three words.” -Kevin Pachio Hoopa AmeriCorps on Native Lands
Hinweis der Redaktion
- Ask participants to discuss these questions at their tables/in small groups (to allow for sharing of great and not-so-great experiences) Each small group will compile at least two “burning questions” from their table, write them up on sticky paper and post them on the wall. Facilitators will try to address the burning questions during the training, and for questions that go unanswered facilitators will provide follow-up info.
- Participants can discuss in small groups and then share their answers

- Which of these statements is an inclusive statement? Inclusive means you seek to include everyone, accessible means that if someone wants to access your programs they can. This is a difference in attitude and often you can use your recruitment materials to make it clear that your projects are INCLUSIVE, not just accessible.
- Strategy – design materials Do we provide materials in formats accessible to people with visual or cognitive disabilities? Do we have accessible, user-friendly web sites? Do we mail materials electronically prior to events? Do we provide Braille, electronic, large print, and illustrated materials? Do we read overheads and flipcharts when presenting? How will this improve the overall quality of the product?
- Participants will work in groups to augment the given trip descriptions to make them more descriptive. They will “make up” details that are not provided… point out that students reading the descriptions are also “making up” what they think some of these details might be.
