Guidelines to Accommodate All Participants
Developed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Office on Health and Disability, 2007
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) is committed to making all meetings and events sponsored or organized by MDPH accessible to everyone. In adherence with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) it is MDPH’s policy to hold events (meetings, conferences and professional gatherings) where physical and communication barriers do not exclude people with disabilities from attending and participating.1
When planning a meeting or an event, make sure that everyone can find out about, attend and benefit from it. Integrating accessibility into all components of your meeting or event planning will ensure that the event is enriching for everyone. 1Nondiscrimination
