The process for ensuring that the needs of customers and clients with disabilities are met begins before they make their first contact with your organization – and carries through until they leave.  From how to create awareness of your organization, to how people with disabilities get there, to how accessibility is ensured at every step of the way, takes not just great planning, but sustained effort.  This course will share the tips and tricks used by some Federal agencies that serve millions of people with disabilities annual to ensure that experiences are accessible from entry to exit for a wide range of disabilities.    

Learning Objectives

1. Identify the components of an "entry to exit" experience

2. Understand the barriers to look for based on different disabilities

3. Learn tools and resources for barrier mitigation
