Providing Accommodations: Auditory
• Use Remote CART (Communication Access Real-time
Translation).

webinar presenter and participants, and instantaneously
translates all the speech to text. Most CART services are
familiar with various types of webinar platforms and can walk
you through set-up.
• If you are showing a video, be sure you provide captions.
• If it is a large event, plan for ASL or other language
translation accommodations.
rz
Providing Accommodations: Visual
• All content should be readable by a screen reader,
including the text content of a PowerPoint slide.
• Provide accessible copies of the entire presentation,
including handouts, before the webinar. This enables
participants to review the information ahead of time so
they can focus on listening to the presenters.
rz
Providing Accommodations: Cognitive
• Provide a way for participants to respond verbally by
phone/microphone, or by typing in a chat box.
• Participants should have ability to:
• use the caption feature and adjust it to their liking;

2022 Annual Report
A Message from the Chair
On behalf of the Vice Chair, and the entire Accessibility and Disability Commission, it
has been an honor to serve as Chair for our inaugural year.After becoming codified and
all members of the Commission received their appointments, we held our first meeting
in June of 2022. Our Commission consists of individuals who represent many different
disabilities living and working in our capital city. Our goal is to bring awareness and
foster inclusion for all people with disabilities and to advance Mayor Mendenhall's
equity plan.We have created a list of priorities that include training of Salt Lake City
Airport staff on how to recognize and respond to an epileptic incident,bringing
inclusion to the Arts by bringing Audio Description to Eccles Theater and other venues
for blind and low vision citizens, and making a recommendation for a city ordinance to
encourage all businesses with public televisions to activate the closed captioning setting
for deaf and hard of hearing citizens. The ADC is also working with our city's staff on
snow removal awareness on our city's sidewalks and providing knowledge, skills, and
best practice for accessibility for software and applications used by the city.
We are proud and grateful to our ADA Coordinator,Ashley Lichtle. We look forward to
continuing our work for all disabled citizens in our capital city in 2023.
