How to make meetings more accessible
PURPOSE
Accessible meetings help participants engage regardless of ability, location, language, or environment.
BEFORE THE MEETING
Share agenda, materials, links, and preparation instructions in advance.
DURING THE MEETING
Use clear audio, captions when available, descriptive language for visuals, and structured turn-taking.
AFTER THE MEETING
Share notes, decisions, recordings if appropriate, and action items.
BEST PRACTICE
Do not rely only on spoken instructions or visuals that are never shared.
