About this event

Grounded in the requirements of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), these sessions will demystify how to proactively plan for accessibility accommodations, create inclusive spaces — both virtual and in-person — and design engagement strategies that meet the needs of community members with disabilities.

What you’ll learn

• A clear understanding of requirements and best practices for accessibility in public engagement (especially as some local and state agencies approach the April 2027 WCAG deadline)

• Tools to identify and implement proactive accommodations

• Strategies for designing inclusive events and communications that reduce barriers and foster participation
