Summary: Include a way to easily request accommodations in event invitations

Who it helps: People with disabilities who need accommodations to attend events

Additional benefits: Including accommodations statements shows that your organization values people with disabilities and increase participation

Accommodations statements tell event participants what accommodations are available and how they can request additional ones. They can also help ensure you have time to provide the accommodations requested by setting a date for making a request.

Here is an example accommodations statement to include on your invitations.

We are committed to supporting attendees with disabilities. We will provide captions and accessible seating at our event.

To request additional accommodations or for more information, please contact [HR/accommodations contact] at [email protected] at least 48 hours before the event.
