Cohousing-L Mailing List: Post COVID accessibility

[Allison Tom (allisonrtom]

This morning's discussion about how zoom makes meetings more accessible to
Deaf people and people with hearing impairments and people (like me) with
other disabilities makes me curious.

I've just realized that I've been assuming that post COVID we will all
return to in-person meetings and I'll lose access to events and
conversations I've been able to join over the last year.

Does it have to be that way? I think that trying to have a hybrid
in-person/zoom meeting could be really difficult. But has anyone tried to
do that and had success?

Can we use the general awareness that some people who had been excluded
from in person events have gained access through zoom and other technology
to get creative about how we can be included post COVID?

Is anyone else interested in this topic?

Thanks,
