This Q and A is for anyone with accessibility needs.<\/p>\n<h5>WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY &#8216;A DISABILITY&#8217;?<\/h5>\n<p>A disability is any impairment or condition that places an individual at a substantial disadvantage in relation to one or more daily life activities. This includes mobility, hearing and visual impairments, as well as a number of conditions that might be less immediately obvious as a disability (e.g. Mental Health Conditions, Specific Learning Disabilities, Autism, Chronic Illness, Cancer, HIV amongst other all fall within this definition).<\/p>\n<h5>WHAT CAN I REQUEST?<\/h5>\n<p>In short, we are willing to take all steps that are possible to include people with disabilities at Ubicomp \/ ISWC2020. It is important that all participants that have special requests announce those to us with their registration as it may require additional time on our side to provide the requested support. Some examples are shown above. This includes anticipatory steps we are taking in advance of the conference to ensure accessibility takes place for as many of our attendees as possible without the need for a specific request.<\/p>\n<h5>HOW DO I REQUEST A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT OR ACCOMMODATION?<\/h5>\n<p>Please indicate your request on your registration form as you register for the conference. We aim to approve most requests within two weeks of receipt, although if further investigation or consultation is required, this may take longer.<\/p>\n<h5>I HAVE A COMPLEX REQUEST FOR A REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION. HOW WILL YOU DECIDE UPON WHETHER OR NOT THIS CAN BE HONOURED?<\/h5>\n<p>In short, we will generally honour a request if it is possible for us to do. The more notice we have the better, and the more likely we would be able to find an effective implementation of your request that fits with any competing challenges that also apply to our conference. We may need to consult with ACM and more widely in order to fully investigate such a request, in which case we would ask your permission to do so.<\/p>\n<\/div><ul class=\"fusion-checklist fusion-checklist-4\" style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:27.2px;\"><li class=\"fusion-li-item\"><span style=\"background-color:rgba(101,188,123,0);font-size:14.08px;height:27.2px;width:27.2px;margin-right:11.2px;\" class=\"icon-wrapper circle-yes\"><i class=\"fusion-li-icon fa-angle-right fas\" style=\"color:#c83273;\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><div class=\"fusion-li-item-content\" style=\"margin-left:38.4px;\">Will it be possible to obtain chat transcripts?
