ROAD MAP TO INCLUSION
Text version
ATTITUDES
Historically attitudes towards disability have been negative. Question this! Be welcoming and willing. Change habits, routines and assumptions.
ACCESS
Ask wheelchair users to audit your facility. Check signage and communications. A culture of respect is part of access.
COMMUNICATIONS
Make your intentions clear. Ditto your commitment! Use different formats (large fonts, Braille, etc.). Language matters!
CHOICES
Ask how people would like to participate. Consult with community groups when unsure. Identify gaps in provision.
POLICIES
Are your policies inclusive? What can you do to influence this?
OPPORTUNITIES
Adapt and modify activities. Seek out training and resources. Showcase good practice. Try something new!
YOU’VE ARRIVED AT ‘THE IMPOSSIBLE!’
