Accessibility Planning: the Key to Successful Inclusion

Workshop led by Beth Prevor, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Hands On and John McEwan, Executive Director of the New Jersey Theatre Alliance

In this workshop, participants have the opportunity to understand the need for and how to develop a comprehensive ADA/Accessibility plan. Accessibility begins with policies and organizational buy-in from every department - from the Board of Directions to the house staff and ushers. Without a comprehensive plan, true accessibility is disjointed and difficult to achieve. This session will ask participants to look at each department of their organization and how those departments impact the access efforts of the organization. Sample plans will be provided, these will serve as framework and outline for developing a comprehensive plan.
