The NY CEC Unit strives for access to all activities—to the fullest extent possible—at our events based on an awareness of participants' needs and appropriate planning. NY CEC's events and meetings include, but are not limited to, in-person or “live” and virtual events.
For NY CEC events, you are asked while registering to indicate the area(s) in which you will need assistance. Once the registration process is complete, a team member will follow up with you to review your survey responses and discuss your needs.
We ask that all requests for reasonable accommodations at our events be made as early as possible and at least one month in advance of the event, so that we may best meet individual needs and provide outside services, if necessary. On-site requests will be met to the best of our ability; however, available resources may be limited or unavailable.
