Accessibility
We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities and people living with chronic illness, to engage fully in both the conference and in movement spaces.
To be respectful of those with allergies and environmental sensitivities, we ask that you please refrain from wearing strong fragrances; however, Worcester State University is not a scent-free campus.
All of the spaces we will be using at Worcester State University are ADA compliant and service-animal friendly. There are several accessible parking spots located near the entrance to the buildings we will be using. We will be using several different buildings on campus and participants should be prepared to move outside between sessions.
Worcester State University has a lactation room with a refrigerator, gender neutral bathrooms in Sheehan Hall, and a variety of food options.
Personal care assistants do not need to register for the conference.
To request an accommodation including interpretation or mobility assistance, or for inquiries about accessibility, please contact Shaina Kasper at shaina@toxicsaction.org or cell phone: 802-922-4780.
