Disability Accommodations

Hosting Accessible Events

Be sure to consider accessibility for all of your guests right from the start...

  • Use language that encourages guests to include any special accommodation requests with their RSVP- if the event does not require pre-registration, include an accessibility statement and contact information for where to direct accommodation requests
  • Include parking maps that point out the closest handicap parking spaces, wheelchair ramps, etc.
  • Be aware of tools such as the Communication Access Request Form from the Disability Resource Center (DRC) which allow guests to request the services of an interpreter and speech-to-text technologies such as CART/C-PRINT

Lamar Univerisity's Disability Resource Center is the authority on accessibility and inclusivity, and should be contacted for all of your questions regarding procative accommodations for your guests.
