Best practices
Tips for Inclusive Technology and Sciences Environments
Consider these tips to ensure accessible, inclusive tech and scientific settings:

Early Scheduling
Contact your accessibility coordinator well in advance of your scheduled presentation, consultation, or event to secure the most qualified interpreters and translators.
- 2
Detailed Requests
Provide comprehensive details about your tech or science event, including participant roles, expected duration, topics that may arise, and any relevant documents to allow for better preparation.

Arrivals & Clearances
Accessibility teams will arrive 10-30 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Ensure that parking and other necessary clearances are secured for hassle-free entry to your location.
- 4
Provide Materials
Share documents or materials with your accessibility coordinator well in advance of your event to ensure interpreters have adequate time to prepare and allow time for any necessary translations to be completed.
- 5
Video and Audio Media
Ensure that captions are turned on for any video or audio media, if available. Submit un-captioned media to your accessibility coordinator as soon as possible to allow time for captioning.

- 7
Direct Engagement
Engage directly with Deaf, hard-of-hearing, or non-English speaking participants, looking at them rather than the interpreter or captioner during interactions.
