How Do I Start?
My guiding philosophy is that "Any person of any ability should be able to fully participate in any part of your company."
Some questions to ask in service of this:
What accessibility features do you already have in place? How do you tell people about them?
Who do people come to with access concerns? How do they find this person?
What would a person with x type of disability need to act with us? Design with us? Attend a performance here?
What in our existing space can be modified? What would need a complete overhaul?
What in our existing practices can be modified? What would need a complete overhaul?
Money: Do added costs for accessibility get paid by the company, or the person needing access? (Hint: Accessibility should never be a premium add-on feature.)
