The Accessibility Starter Session is a 2-hour foundational workshop designed for businesses, organizations, and teams across all sectors who are beginning their accessibility journey or looking to build more inclusive practices into their everyday operations.
This session is ideal for small teams, first-time accessibility work, and organizations seeking a meaningful starting point before deeper or more specialized initiatives. The focus is practical, relational, and grounded in real-world applications.
Facilitated by Lexa Bergen, this workshop explores accessibility as more than compliance or accommodation. Accessibility is framed as the intentional removal of barriers that prevent people from fully participating in workplaces, services, systems, and community spaces.
Lexa’s work sits at the intersection of accessibility, inclusion, and culture, supporting organizations in building ways of working where people can genuinely participate and feel supported over time.
This session emphasizes that:
- Accessibility removes barriers
- Inclusion is the care and awareness it takes to remove those barriers well
- Belonging emerges when people feel seen, supported, and able to choose to be part of what’s being built Inclusion is not treated as a separate initiative, but as a way of being attentive to one another - embedded into how businesses operate, communicate, and lead.
