Nothing About Us Without Us: Empowering Inclusive Design

This session will feature a successful, highly effective, and nationally recognized accessibility and inclusion team that uses legislation as a baseline but goes beyond to explore new possibilities for a more accessible built environment. Join us to discover how you can strengthen your creative and inclusive design muscles.

Learning Objectives

  1. Evaluate the lens through which you see the world and how you can learn from and understand the differing experiences of others.
  2. Learn how to build project input and feedback networks/loops that widen designers' perspectives, gather meaningful community feedback, and minimize inherent biases.
  3. Find out how to apply best practices and intentionality to design a more inclusive and accessible built environment.
  4. Discuss how to identify project-specific opportunities to deliberately advance equity and inclusion through your project work.
