Now that conferences are virtual. But I really do think each conference should have an #ADA expert on the team. As a deaf attendee, I request captioning for full access b/c I want to learn more about medicine just like everyone else. But one conference first said "No" to me.(1/n)
At first, I was disappointed in their response bc it's a constant remainder that I have to deal with limited access all the time. BUT, it's an opportunity to educate them about access. Perhaps they never had deaf attendees before despite being a well-known association. (2/n)
I emailed them back and briefly explained the law - but no response. I called them instead and explained the law again. As I expected, the conference didn't know how to provide accessibility, nor was aware of the law. I was asked if I know any services. So they seemed nice (3/n)
