This is a simple script for interrupting ableist culture in your meetings to create a more accessible space for everyone! Thanks to Grant Miller for the concept and August Schulenburg for some of the language in this description from 2019.  Read below or visit this link for an even more updated accessibility check-in resource.

Access Check-In Description 2019

Accessibility check-ins disrupt ableism in meeting culture. The majority of meeting systems, structures, and cultural norms are centered around the needs of abled, neurotypical participants. As a result, neurodiverse and people with disabilities are prevented from fully participating. An accessibility check-in provides an opportunity at the beginning of a gathering for every participant to share what they need in order to bring their whole selves to the process. These check-ins play an important role in developing an accessible workplace, establishing a culture of inclusion, as well as fully supporting individual participants.
