- 55. Examples of Accommodations “ I am considered a low vision person so reading is very difficult for me…I have a special reading glass at home but I wouldn’t bring it in because it’s difficult. I read with one eye. I don’t want the kids to realize that I am that disabled. that’s part of my problem maybe. Because they don't see me as that. I am the grandma that has to be read to. So, they read to me.” - Ruth Koffler Union-Snyder Foster Grandparent Program
- 56. Examples of Accommodations “ I work with AmeriCorps Service for 1 year. I have no interpreter. I only need an interpreter for meetings. I don't need that for work. I just write a note with some members and I taught some members some basic sign language like: "work, breaktime, what, where, why, toilet, see you later, bye, and hi". I can read lips a little bit, not long sentences just two or three words.” -Kevin Pachio Hoopa AmeriCorps on Native Lands

Editor's Notes
- Ask participants to discuss these questions at their tables/in small groups (to allow for sharing of great and not-so-great experiences) Each small group will compile at least two “burning questions” from their table, write them up on sticky paper and post them on the wall. Facilitators will try to address the burning questions during the training, and for questions that go unanswered facilitators will provide follow-up info.

This is a difference in attitude and often you can use your recruitment materials to make it clear that your projects are INCLUSIVE, not just accessible.
