ASCA is committed to making our events accessible. We encourage you to engage in sessions in ways that fit your abilities and comfort level. In addition to any requested accommodations and use of assistive devices and technology, we encourage attendees to drink or eat during session, stretch, stand up, fidget, stim, take breaks, wear headphones for noise and stimulation reduction, and/or engage in helpful focus/regulation practices such as deep breathing, doodling, using a silent phone app, and more. In general, please engage so far as you feel emotionally and physically able to do so–it is okay to push your comfort zone, and to also prioritize your well-being. 

We encourage all attendees to understand that focus and engagement can look and feel different for each individual, and that while unfamiliar behaviors may sometimes be initially distracting, they are not intentionally disruptive. ASCA spaces should feel comfortable and accessible. If you have any concerns with accessibility, please let Central Office know as soon as possible.
