Guidelines for WWA 72 Accessibility Committee
|
| 1. |
Recommended Guidelines for Assistance Needs |
|
|
I. |
Identify needs with the host
committees for Area Business Meetings, Assemblies, Pre-Conferences,
Delegates Reports, and Pre-Assemblies. Contact host committees to assure
accessibility. Registration forms should include a section asking about
Access Needs. |
|
|
II. |
Wheelchair: |
|
|
It is the Host Committee’s responsibility to insure the facility is wheelchair accessible for the Area Quarterlies, Area Pre-Assemblies, and Area Assembly including ramps, parking, seating with adequate room to move, and wheelchair accessible restrooms. The Accessibility Committee will try to help financially to make a facility accessible if a ramp is needed, etc. |
|
|
III. |
Visually Impaired: |
|
|
Currently need to gather more information about what a visually impaired GSR, DCM, or Area Committee Member would need to assist them such as tapings, Braille, large print, etc. (The Committee needs at least 60 days [2 months] notice to coordinate and communicate this assistance.) |
|
|
IV. |
Mobile Meetings / Homebound: |
|
|
Assist districts in setting up a volunteer group that is available to make meetings to homebound or to those in hospitals or care facilities. |
