Finding effective CART, remote CART, and ASL providers is only part of the process of providing this support. During the day of the event, these providers also need:

Clear access to audio and visual information
A means of communicating with participants who require the support
Information about where the park, the rooms, and the activities
Updates to any schedule changes and annoucements
Information about specific individual with the accommodations as needed

While some of these providers may be familiar with UNH, you also may have to provide additional information about the campus, travel to the campus, or other information as needed.

Suggestions

Ensure providers are familiar with parking, the venue, schedules, and their role for the day
Provide providers with any materials, relevant terms, relevant person names in advance of the event
Discuss any expectations proactively
Ensure providers have appropriate spaces (access to communications, but non-intrusive)
Discuss any expectations with providers in advance of the event
Clear sight lines to and from providers
Always have presenters face providers
Provide captions on videos
Space reserved for providers
