Event Planning Consulting
Planning an Event?
Inclusive Planning Solutions can help you develop
a more inclusive event.
Our event planning consultation will explain what
items need to be addressed and why they are important. The following
is a list of the types of items that may be considered:
- Coordination of specialized transportation
- Note takers and sign language interpreters
- Sighted guides
- Support service attendants
- Adaptive equipment
- Alternate formats for both written handouts and audio/visual
presentations
Adopting an inclusive approach in planning your event will make
it more fulfilling not only for persons with disabilities, but
for the gathering as a whole.
Addition Help?
Our service can also include a review of the physical
space for the event. We will audit both the site itself as well
as the layout you have planned to fill the space. This review
will identify areas of concern for items such as wayfinding and
spatial requirements for mobility devices.
How How is an Accessibility
Plan Review Conducted?
| Step 1 |
- Initial consultation and site visit to determine the
scope of review required
- Initial walk through with manager/client to familiarize
us with building
|
| Step 2 |
- Written proposal outlining the scope, timeline and how
the audit is to be conducted
- Where available or appropriate, review of architectural
drawings
|
| Step 3 |
- Audit of your building
- Discuss general findings and anticipated content of
report
|
| Step 4 |
- Present findings and submit report
|
What will be in the Report?
The content of the report will depend on the type
and extent of audit that the client requests. The following is
a list of items that would be typical in a standard audit:
- Existing Conditions - a summary of the features of the existing
building.
- Code Requirements & Guidelines - summary of the codes and
guidelines we are referencing.
- Photographs - if required, photographs illustrating assets
and deficits.
- Drawings - if required, reference architectural drawings to
illustrate areas of concern.
- Audit results - that summarizes assets and deficits.
- Recommendations - a summary of our findings.
Cost of an Accessibility Building Audit?
The cost of an accessible building audit will depend on the scope
of the audit requested. A simple audit to determine if the building
meets Ontario Building Code (OBC) requirements can typically be
relatively inexpensive. An audit that considers the full range
of building users or a report that contains a design work and
higher standards would be more expensive.
