Wheelchair accessible taxicabs are available. Call 1-800-281-4466. All public transit buses and trains are wheelchair accessible. The Chicago campus of National-Louis University is wheelchair accessible.
Conference participants should make their accessibility needs known at time of registration so that the conference committee can arrange for necessary accommodations. Accessibility concerns can be directed to the conference accessibility coordinator, Valerie Owen, at vowen@nl.edu.
Any presenter using handouts must bring alternative formats. We recommend 10-15 hardcopies in 12 point font for sighted participants. Also bring 2-3 large print copies in 16 point font and at least one disk copy with the document saved in Microsoft word format. Presenters using visuals (e.g., overheads, powerpoints, etc.) must be prepared to describe the visuals to accommodate visually impaired or blind participants. If a sign language interpreter is used, presenters must be prepared to speak slowly enough for the interpreter to accurately interpret what is being said.
