Hesitant to hire a speaker with a disability because you’re not sure what considerations and accommodations to make?
Speakers with disabilities can deliver profoundly impactful keynotes. They offer unique perspectives for all audiences. But it can feel intimidating to hire one if you haven’t had direct life experience.
If you’re not familiar what needs to be considered to best support speakers with disabilities, you could be putting yourself and, more importantly, your speaker in an uncomfortable position.

? Plan and budget accordingly for support staff. Many speakers with a disability travel with aides.
? Ensure their hotel room is fitted appropriately.
? If your speaker uses a wheelchair, ensure ground transportation, hotel, event facilities, and stage can accommodate one.
? Ask about technical and floor plan requirements. Some speakers have special visual or sound needs; others may prefer the stage or audience chairs be set a certain way.
? If your speaker uses a service animal, ensure their vehicle, the hotel, and event facilities can accommodate one.
The payoff:
? Your speaker feels accommodated, comfortable, and respected.
? You feel confident booking more special speakers with incredible stories.
