CSLA Presents: Accessibility Training Series

Accessibility is not a checklist. Codes and standards set a baseline, but the people who use our public spaces bring a wide range of needs, experiences and preferences. No single approach serves everyone.

The CSLA is pleased to present the Accessibility Training Series, three online sessions running from December 2026 to February 2027. The series brings together three speakers who approach accessibility from different vantage points, informed by both lived experience and professional practice.
