If you’d like to see our #GDC2022 talk, it is now available! @SunniPav @MakenzieLaneDA @TheeDoctorB and I speak on how game industry workplaces can effectively provide accommodations and increase accessibility for various disabilities. https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1027734/Accessibility-and-Accommodation For more on accessibility at GDC, I wrote an article about the access barriers I encountered attending GDC as an immunocompromised disabled person, as well as a full listing of the precautions I took to avoid COVID-19 infection at a super spreader event. https://jayjustice.medium.com/press-a-to-access-navigating-disability-at-gdc-b3e75ec4fce1Alt text for image 1: Slide from a presentation.

Text on slide:GDCImplementing AccommodationsMany companies say they will not discriminate against disabled people during the hiring process. But sometimes they do unintentionally by not providing accommodations.Don’t wait for a disabled applicant to implement accessibility. Be proactive by researching ways to make your hiring & onboarding processes more accessible.Even if you think you don’t have any disabled employees, take the time to provide alternative solutions and access to resources. You don’t need to see a disability to provide an accommodation.March 21-25, 2022 San Francisco, CA #GDC22 Jay Justice GDC -- source link
