Description

Accessibility isn’t just about compliance—it’s about ensuring everyone can learn about special events, register for programs, reserve facilities, and connect with your department. Join this Lunch & Learn session to learn more about the relevance of digital accessibility. With one in four U.S. adults living with a disability, technological accommodations are an urgent need for park and recreation agencies. Build community trust, engagement, and participation through ensuring that online spaces are simple and intuitive. In this session, we’ll define what 'web accessibility' means for parks and recreation, review the key laws and guidelines, and show you how to identify barriers in your digital spaces. We’ll also share a practical checklist aligned with DOJ requirements and provide a free toolkit with resources to help you take action immediately. Go above and beyond compliance - make your website welcoming.
