Frequently Asked Questions
How can we make our facility accessible?
Many businesses are interested in increasing the accessibility of their facility, but they aren’t sure where to start and may be nervous about the cost of making changes.
How can we create an inclusive environment for people with disabilities?
Being able to interact appropriately and effectively with employees and customers with disabilities is a common challenge and a great opportunity for accessibility training.
What can a hiring manager ask when interviewing a person with a disability?
Our accessibility consultants often advise teams on how to conduct themselves properly during an interview. Without proper training, hiring managers can be uncomfortable in interviews with people with disabilities because they may not be familiar with the appropriate legal guidelines and etiquette.
When an employee or customer needs an accommodation, what do we need to know?
Without ADA compliance training, many team members do not know where to start. This can lead to an employee or customer not receiving an accommodation that can promote productivity or satisfaction.
