Accessibility is a buzzword, but what does it mean when you’re working with youth? This interactive session will provide an introduction to what accessibility is and why it matters in your programs and organizations. Participants will practice skills such as using inclusive language, combating microaggressions and more. No matter their role in their organization, participants will leave with strategies for how they can bring accessibility in all of their work. Attending this session is a prerequisite to attending other sessions from this facilitation team.
