Email is often our primary communication method. Some basic tips for ensuring your emails are accessible are:
Allow for a ten minute time slot between meetings so people have the opportunity to have a break instead of jumping from one meeting to the next. We often schedule meetings for a full hour time zone, especially using Zoom or other virtual meeting options which leaves no time for a break if you have another meeting scheduled afterwards.
Another thing to be mindful of is to ensure you have break times allocated into longer meetings or training sessions. A five minute break to enable people to move, have a drink of water or attend the bathroom is good for everyone – not just those with a disability.
