What you need to include in your announcements
All notices and announcements for the meeting, event, or presentation must include your contact information to request disability accommodations such as ASL interpreters, Real-Time captioning, materials in alternate formats such as Braille. Notices should include a description of the accessible physical features and other programmatic accommodations provided on site. It is also okay to provide a link from social media or email announcements to detailed accessibility information on your website.
