Accessibility adaptation program

Direct answer

What is an adaptation program?

Unlike a specific action, the program connects diagnosis, planning, projects, execution, verification and updating. It is especially useful when the organization has many units or needs to integrate different internal areas.

When a program makes sense

• Store chains, franchises, hotels, clinics or agencies.
• Companies with a broad portfolio of properties.
• Public, educational or health institutions.
• Organizations that need to establish corporate criteria.
• Operations that wish to monitor developments and maintain evidence.

Possible pillars of the program

Program, plan and work plan

The program is the broadest and most continuous structure. Within it there may be adaptation plans to organize priorities and work plans to detail actions, responsible parties and deadlines for a specific cycle.

The program design is proportional to the size of the organization and should not create bureaucracy without practical use.

How to start and follow a program

To size the service, inform the number and location of units, their different uses, existing diagnostics and which internal areas participate in decisions. A pilot can help test the method before scaling up the work.

The scope may provide for evaluation criteria, a matrix of responsibilities, review cycles and progress records. Comparisons between units must respect their differences: a corporate classification does not replace the technical analysis of each property.

Works, periodic visits, management systems and preparation of all projects in the network are not automatically included. The proposal defines the deliveries, monitoring frequency and responsibilities of Acessibilize and the organization.

O adaptation plan organizes intervention priorities. O work plan details actions and deadlines for each cycle. A accessibility consultancy can support specific decisions without requiring the structure of an ongoing program.
