Special Needs

ADA Accommodations
For housing:   If you need to request ADA accommodations for housing, please click on the symbol in your shopping cart during your registration. This will take you to a policy statement, followed by a link for an accommodations request form; you only need to complete the first page of the request form. This form must be printed, completed and mailed to our office no later than March 30, 2012; any requests received after this deadline cannot be guaranteed.

If you would like to make a non-ADA housing accommodation request, a screen will be available in the registration process on the housing page to enter that request. If you have already registered and need to make an accommodation request, you can log back into your registration screens and complete the request on that screen.

Other ADA requests:   If you have other ADA requests, i.e. American Sign Language interpreters, etc. follow the same procedure as above during your registration, and complete and mail the form in to our office no later than March 30, 2012; any requests received after this deadline cannot be guaranteed. You must also contact the BYU Accessibility office at 801-422-2767 no later than March 30, 2012 to give them the details of your accessibility request.

Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Participants
American Sign Language interpreters will be provided for all Marriott Center conference sessions. Participants needing ASL interpretation should sit in section 8, row 3 (enter through Portal H).

Interpreters for sessions outside of the Marriott Center are available upon request. All requests must be made following the ADA guidelines noted at the top of this page.

The Marriott Center has a limited number of assistive listening devices for use in that facility. You will need to leave a picture ID when checking out the device (driver’s license, etc.). For assistive listening devices in other conference locations, inquire at a nearby Women’s Conference information desk.

Visually Impaired Participants
If you have a visual disability and need your conference program in an alternate format, please contact the University Accessibility Center at 801-422-2767.

Wheelchair/Mobility Seating
Marriott Center wheelchair seating is available at Portals G, J, and K on the concourse level. Limited floor wheelchair seating is available for those accompanied by one companion who can push the chair up a steep ramp in the event of an emergency. The companion will not be seated on the floor or in wheelchair areas but in close proximity.

Due to limited wheelchair seating in the Marriott Center and other conference venues, wheelchair areas are reserved for only those participants who use wheelchairs. Participants who have additional types of mobility or health concerns should arrive early to secure a seat, as all seating is on a first-come basis.

Note: All restroom facilities are located on the concourse level in the Marriott Center.

Transportation
One wheelchair-accessible van is available for participants in wheelchairs, who may be accompanied by one companion. To contact the wheelchair van driver, call 801-360-1210 and indicate your shuttle stop.

Disability Parking
Participants who have state disability placards may park in any of the state disability parking spaces on campus (blue signs with wheelchairs). If these spaces are filled in a particular lot, you may hang your placard and park in any of the parking spaces except in those designated for deans and service vehicles, or in timed lots.
