"Excellent course that really brings out misconceptions and myths about people with disabilities."
"Some takeaways from the Wheel the World training for me were: the use of inclusive language, making everyone feel welcome and not separate, and speaking to an entire group even if one person has certain needs. As someone who designs programs here, it's made me think about how to make what we offer accessible to everybody, including location. There are some challenges in a historic site, but there are definitely ways that we can work around what we have here."
"This training helped me learn to not make assumptions about what people need and to be more conscious of the need for space for certain individuals. It has made it more front of mind to think of programming and access for everybody and to make everybody feel welcome."
"Doing tours, we're very conscious about what's going to make people feel comfortable and enjoy the tour - that's the main thing. Make it accessible to everybody and, whatever their needs are, we can be there for them and give them a good experience of the house. People all have their own levels of capability of things they can do, and it means a lot to give them the dignity to do what they feel they can do on their own."
"The Wheel the World Accessibility Training was user-friendly, easy to understand, and had helpful information on how best to serve our guests. I particularly liked how the training was broken into sessions where I could start and stop the training. This comprehensive training covered a variety of accessibility topics, and now I feel more confident that I am greeting guests with the top standard of care and attention."
