| Accessibility is not simply putting in a ramp at the front entrance of your building and adding an automated door. Accessibility means making the entire experience open and available to everyone. Accessibility issues are just as important to the elderly, the young, people with temporary disabilities, foreign travellers, as well as those with a life-long disability. Accessibility is making sure your staff is aware of the needs of people with disabilities. This starts with how they are treated when they enter your establishment. It includes whether assistance is offered to perform specific actions, such as carrying a person's bag, or offering a person assistance of your arm as they cross the street. Accessibility is ensuring that a person is heard or can hear a conversation -- as in the case of a person who is deaf, or someone trying to carry-on a conversation in a crowded room. Accessibility is the ability for a person to read signage regardless of whether they are dyslexic, blind, have low vision, or do not speak or read English -- such as a young child or a foreign visitor. What do your customers with disabilities think of the service you provide? |
