Survey question!

[selkiechick]

I am working on my own local conventions access services (arisia), and at the same time trying to write up Some "best practices" to write up at conrunner.net and share at SMOFcon in December.

Now, i do that the best practice is to put a link to your accommodations statement and information right there on the front page, but that is a hard sell, so i am looking at the second best option- how to make the information easy to find by search (because not everyone has the time/patience to dig through the menus/org chart).

When looking over a convention page to find out if they have any accommodations for fans with disabilities, which search terms are you most likely to use? At the moment I am including all of the following search terms on the access services website, because, especially as fandom ages, different people know different terms for what they are seeking.

A. access/accessibility
B. accommodations
C. disabled/disability
D. Handicapped
E. More specific terms, Blind, Deaf, Wheelchair, etc.
F. Some other REALLY obvious term I failed to list.

Thank you very much for your time!

Poster session

Sorry about the multiple posts, I just had a breakthrough in my understanding of dreamwidth! (yay)

I have been sitting on some stuff for a while.

This summer I got a chance to go to the LEAD conference,(Leadership Exchange in Art and Disability), http://www.kennedy-center.org/accessibility/education/lead/conference.html, sponsored by the Kennedy Center for arts and cultural organizations, and I presented a poster for their poster session on access at Science Fiction Conventions. in order to offer etext, I made a website to go with the poster, and I thought it might be good to share it here.
