Located at the old train sheds – Foreshore Park, we come together as a provider of Disability supports to share time and stories. Participants and their support workers come to enjoy a free BBQ lunch, craft and sport activities with Guest speakers telling their journey of Accessibility to technology as a disabled person. We have chosen to theme this BBQ with GAAD as we support people in the deaf blind community and also those with Motor and Cognitive impairments. To grow awareness in this space to what is possible.

Lidar com acessibilidade é um processo que envolve cultura, conhecimento técnico e paciência. Você pode lidar com a acessibilidade de forma que ela seja atendida minimamente (o que infelizmente é o que a maioria das empresas faz). Para que a acessibilidade seja desenvolvida de forma correta, é importante que se tenha um processo, um ou mais processos. E para que esses processos sejam conduzidos de forma correta e assertiva, é importante que se tenha uma governança. Isso está atrelado a uma equipe dedicada. Neste evento, vamos bater um papo sobre o que é necessário para que estes processos sejam conduzidos da melhor forma além de demonstrarmos alguns exemplos de processos, na prática. Operacionalizar processos é muito importante para conduzir de forma eficiente tudo que envolve a acessibilidade.
