Accessibility Accommodation Requests
If participants have any specific accommodation requests related to one or more disabilities or language access, please include your request when you register and email us directly at bridge@schoolsoutwashington.org. Please reach out as soon as you are aware of your access need and at least two (2) weeks prior to the first day of the conference.
While we seek to expand the designation of resources for accessibility accommodations, our budget is limited. Our current policy is first-come, first-served when addressing accommodation requests. Please reach out as early as possible with your request and/or inquiry. We will do our best to meet the accessibility requests and/or work with you to identify alternative solutions if we’re not able to meet the exact need.
