I like to 'force ' people to the center if they care to contribute/invite to a
topic. Then give options to kneel on cushions, use clipboards or take papers to
their seats.

Hi, Harold! This is important. I've also encountered it as a gender bias
issue--if you're wearing a short skirt or dress, you might not want to bend
over in front of the group, and so you'll feel uncomfortable about fully
participating.
My easy solution: If it's a seated opening, I reserve one cha

I often share the principle of "ask for what you need and offer what you can"
with the idea that we should ensure that everyone who wishes to participate can
do so. And that includes providing tranlastion for those that need it.

Hi all,
I am choosing to answer a question that was not asked. The question is
'what is needed in our OST meetings to ensure that people who have
disabilities of any sort can feel welcomed and included?'. Having worked
with people with lots of different abilities and what are commonly referred

I have seen people reject such help from others, especially with
considerable verve from folks that one might consider differentially
abled. One thing I have never seen is someone writing a thought for
someone else.

I wonder if there would be any difference in results between inviting
people to ask their neighbors to help, and inviting people to offer help to
their neighbors? I'm imagining something like, "When you grab a piece of
paper, you could also get one for someone else nearby. After you write down

I often say something in the opening like "if it's difficult for you to bend
over or you think your handwriting is too bad, ask one of your neighbors to
help." This also gives an easy out to anyone who may be illiterate. I think it
also fosters a sense of camaraderie. But it doesn't make it 100%

I once opened the space for a municipal gathering that was focused on
preventing elder abuse, co-sponsored by a police department and the Area Agency
on Aging. They did a wonderful job of inviting elders from the community and

Hi, Harold.
“For anyone whose body does not work like this, I (my assistant) will be
walking around the (outside of the) circle with paper and markers.”
I say this every time. It’s standard, as I try to practice inclusivity by

In the many OST's I've participated in or helped open myself, I've
encountered this complaint about having to bend over to pick up the pens
and the papers in only two instances. Both of which were Universities.
In both cases, the leading edge of the complaint seemed to have to do
