The Triple Vision podcast with David Best – Episode 39
Episode 39: Who are you Leaving Out? How Inclusive Are Your Communications practices?
Abstract
In this latest podcast, the Triple Vision team reimagines what inclusive communications could look like by speaking with Denis Boudreau, owner of the firm Inklusive communications. Denis is a writer and speaker in the area of inclusive communications. In this podcast, he describes the importance of businesses and individuals, including a diversity of recipients in their communications, and where they have fallen down or have had little exposure to this area. He also discusses many tips for individuals and organizations for improving their communications practices.
Most colleges still don’t have accessibility baked into their programs. They might have someone who speaks about it, tangentially, as part of a course, but it’s not embedded as part of anything we do. So, in most cases, when accessibility is being taught to them, it’s this extra course that they might take sitting in parallel with everything else, while in reality, we have known for a long time that the only way accessibility can be successful is if it’s embedded into what you are doing.
