[BlindTlk] Churches And Accessibility

[Justin Williams]

They don't have to abide by ADA, so  you really need to hope that the father
steps in, here.

Haven't had much luck, though I've been to a few accessibility presentations
at churches, one to be exact.

If it is too hard, they will try nicely to get around it.

You can sometimes get volunteers to help you with stuff, I've found that
works fairly well in church.  

I had a pastor at a church tell me they couldn't have someone come to get me
on Sundays, even though they had a 5000 member church.  The church had an
elevator in it; it was huge.

So, it is hit and miss.  You'll have to probably do more teaching and
educating in this instance.  Show them the WACG guidelines.  

Thanks,

Justin

For those of you that go to church, have you ever had to advocate for
accessible accommodations? For example, my church is switching websites, and
I'm trying my best to ensure accessibility to include everyone.
