Free Webinars for Justice Sector

Presenters:

• Pam Cross, Lawyer
• Fran Odette, Consultant in Disability Issues
• Barbara Collier, Speech Language Pathologist

People who have communication disabilities and who have limited or no speech have the right to effective communication when accessing services within the justice sector. The justice community has a responsibility to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that this happens, because without adequate processes and supports, people with communication disabilities do not have equal access to justice. 

This two-part webinar provides information, guidelines and resources on communication accessibility that comply with accessibility standards and Canadian human rights legislation.  It is recommended that participants attend both sessions. If you are unable to attend Part 1, please review the online resource at www.accpc.ca/ej-resources.htm.
