Access and Inclusion Awareness Committee Presents: Tip of the Week

January 7, 2025

Access & Inclusion Tips of the Week
Every Tuesday, we drop a little wisdom on how to make the world more accessible for everyone. Whether you’re a newbie or an accessibility aficionado, our Access and Inclusion Awareness Committee has you covered with tips, tricks, and the occasional nudge to get your wheels turning. Because accessibility isn’t just a box to check—it’s a mindset, a culture, and, let's face it, the right thing to do. Tune in every Tuesday and let’s make inclusion the new normal. Don’t worry—we promise no boring jargon. Just practical, punchy, and (dare we say?) fun advice!

You can find all of the tips on the Access and Inclusion Advisory Committee webpage.

1.Prepare your mind for inclusion. Don’t just think you can do it because it sounds nice and fair. Take your time to reason it out and understand the extent to which you can go at your level. 2. Take your applicant accessibility to the next level. Pass your message of value and accommodation by providing accessible technology on your hiring site. 3. Take note of your immediate needs and start from there. Don’t spread yourself too thin. 4. Remember that all disabilities are not visible. While some are physical they may be hidden such as hearing loss. Epilepsy, ADHD, PTSD and other conditions should also be accommodated. For the person with a disability, self-advocacy will help your employer and colleagues make the appropriate accommodations.
