From Barriers to Belonging: Transforming Attractions for Everyone


Listen Later

Welcome to this episode of "From Barriers to Belonging" where we explore how attractions can go beyond mere accommodation to create truly inclusive experiences for all visitors.

Join us for an inspiring episode of "Live with Sondra" featuring Dani Rose, award-winning accessibility advocate and ADA Coordinator, as we uncover strategies for fostering inclusivity in cultural attractions, live entertainment, and beyond.

In this session, Dani will dive into:

  • Radical Inclusion in Attractions: How connecting directly with the disability community leads to meaningful accessibility improvements.
  • ArtReach’s Approach to Accessibility: How this nonprofit prioritizes feedback from disabled individuals to create strategic plans for increased access.
  • Technology’s Role in Accessibility: The impact of ASL integration, touchless entry systems, and language adaptation in designing inclusive experiences.
  • Educating Frontline Staff for Inclusion: Why training teams on accessibility leads to better guest experiences and stronger community connections.
  • Creating Affirmational Spaces: The importance of designing attractions that feel truly welcoming to all guests, not just accommodating.

Tune in for an engaging discussion on how the attractions industry can embrace accessibility as a standard, not just an afterthought!
