Introduction

The Accessibility Awareness Workshop is a 90-minute interactive session that helps teams understand what accessibility really means in day-to-day work, and why it matters.

Grounded in lived experience and real workplace examples, the workshop introduces the four pillars of accessibility: Physical, Digital, Procedural, and Cultural. Participants explore how each pillar shapes people’s experience at work and how small, everyday decisions can either reduce friction or unintentionally create it.

The session looks at accessibility across a wide range of access needs, including:

Mobility and physical accessHow spaces, layouts, and movement affect participation and independence.
Blindness or low visionHow information, systems, and environments are experienced without sight or with limited vision.
Deafness or hearing lossHow communication, meetings, and background noise impact understanding and inclusion.
Neurodivergence and mental healthHow structure, clarity, pace, and change affect confidence and cognitive load.

This is not a compliance lecture. It is a conversation-driven workshop that makes accessibility real, relevant, and actionable for people in all roles.
