Welcoming all customers: Accessibility best‑practices for disability‑friendly small businesses

​This is a hybrid event. Register for the Zoom here.

​Creating an inclusive, disability‑friendly business doesn’t have to be expensive or overwhelming. In fact, 28% of Americans have some type of disability* – being an inclusive business is good for your bottom line! 

​In this dynamic presentation, small business owners will learn simple, practical, and affordable strategies for welcoming customers with a wide range of disabilities. It will feature a panel of people with disabilities, who will share their real‑world experiences that show how small changes can drive where they choose to shop and dine. Their disabilities include using a wheelchair, or being Deaf, blind, or neurodiverse. 

​Hosted by the Office of Disability and Accessibility and the Office of Small Business, in partnership with the San Francisco Public Library's Small Business Center.
