Including everyone in... Age Groups
All general considerations are relevant to different age groups, but keep some specifics in mind:
- Children
Don't assume that only older people have difficulty seeing the screen or hearing the speaker - children and young people may need support as well.
Are there other church members who can offer communication support to deaf children or information support to blind children so that the parents can have a break?
- Young People
Do you train your youth workers on the inclusion of physically and learning disabled children? - Older People
Many older people become hard of hearing or partially sighted in later life - they may not know what sort of help suits them best - is there anyone in the church who could advise them? Are their difficulties dismissed or assumed to be inevitable because of their age?
