Ask before helping because the customer understands their own needs best. This respects independence and prevents well-intended assistance from creating a safety or accessibility problem.
A lowered counter with unobstructed knee space gives a seated customer an accessible surface for conversations, forms, payments, and signatures.
A service animal may be performing an essential task. Employees should address the customer directly and avoid petting, feeding, calling, or otherwise distracting the animal.
When guidance is accepted, the employee can offer an arm and walk slightly ahead. The customer can then follow the guide's body movements without being pulled or pushed.
Communication preferences vary. A customer may prefer speechreading, writing, sign language, captions, or assistive technology, so asking is the most reliable approach.
The ear symbol combined with a capital T commonly identifies a hearing loop. It can transmit sound directly to compatible hearing aids or cochlear implant processors.
Patient listening preserves the customer's control over the conversation. Finishing sentences may be inaccurate or disrespectful, while clarification can be requested when necessary.
Queue routes should provide sufficient clear width and turning space. Displays or movable barriers that narrow the path can prevent access for customers using wheelchairs or other mobility aids.
Plain language and clearly sequenced steps reduce unnecessary cognitive load. Written or visual support can also help the customer review information at their own pace.
Programmatically associated labels allow screen readers to announce each field's purpose. Color alone and disappearing placeholders do not provide reliable identification.
A portable or adjustable terminal lets customers position the controls and privacy screen within reach. Employees should never request or enter a customer's confidential PIN.
The customer remains the primary participant and should be addressed directly. A support person can assist in the manner the customer prefers.
Not all disabilities are visible. Staff should handle accommodation requests respectfully, protect privacy, and seek only the information required to arrange appropriate assistance under policy.
An emergency plan must account for people who cannot use stairs. It should identify an accessible evacuation route, approved evacuation assistance, or a designated refuge procedure as applicable.
Mobility aids are part of a person's personal space and may be essential for balance or independence. Staff should obtain permission before touching or moving them unless urgent danger requires action.
High contrast, adjustable presentation, audio support, and reachable controls address varied visual, motor, and cognitive needs. Accessible kiosks should also avoid color-only cues and unnecessarily short time limits.
