Accessibility Boutique: Self-Advocacy Can be the Key January 31, 2023, 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. ET

Tuesday, January 31, 2023, from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. via Zoom

Register today for the Advocating for Accessibility Boutique <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=28168&qid=8111077> 

As blind people, we often encounter products or services that are not accessible. Whether you encounter these products or services in school, at work, or in your everyday life, self-advocacy can be the key to getting them made accessible. In fact, many products and services are made accessible through the efforts of their users, but connecting with companies about accessibility can be challenging.

If you would like to learn how to connect with companies to make products and services accessible, join the National Federation of the Blind in partnership with the Maryland Department of Disabilities for an Advocating for Accessibility Boutique on Tuesday, January 31, 2023. You’ll learn:

*         What information you need and how to gather it

*         How to get through to the right department or person at a company

*         How to compile a detailed issue report

*         What you can try when a company doesn’t respond

*         Specific strategies for connecting with employers and educational institutions.

The Advocating for Accessibility Boutique will help you effectively advocate for accessible products and services.

Register today for the Advocating for Accessibility Boutique <https://nfb.org/civicrm/mailing/url?u=28168&qid=8111077> , January 31, 2023, 2:00 to 3:30 p.m.
