Speak! Language Center

There are 3 accessible parking spaces, all of them being van-accessible, that are less than 100 feet away from the entrance

The parking lot is made of smooth pavement, but is slightly at an angle downwards towards Speak!

The path to the sidewalk from the accessible spaces is slightly angled from the 2 spaces that are across the parking lot, at least 36 inches wide, does not have a lip, and the curb ramp is accessible and contains a contrasting yellow surface with truncated domes

The entrance/exit door is a set of two doors, with no automatic door openers

There are maneuvering clearance for both doors on the inside and the outside of the location

The door handles are at accessible heights and do not require pinching, grasping, or twisting of the wrist

The width of each door when opened is about 34 inches, and the threshold underneath the doors is not difficult to navigate over

The door is easy to swing open, but could be considered difficult to initially unlatch the door

There is a table with snacks and plates on it, another table with tea and sugar on it, and a counter in the kitchenette area that has a coffee machine on it - all these items are less than 48 inches above the floor

Staff is more than happy to bring these items to customers upon request.

Almost all pathways, besides the pathways within the classrooms/“studios”, are at least 36 inches wide and are level

Some pathways within the classroom/“studios” might be less than 36 inches wide, but staff can move around furniture upon request to prioritize the width of the pathway closest to the door

There are carpets to navigate over in the pathways located in the entrance area and in Studios A, B, and D

There is signage on the classroom doors to indicate which Studio each is, but there is no directional signage to point out where Studios B and D are, or where the bathroom is

All seats have surfaces at accessible heights in the location, and all seats and tables are movable

The tables in Studios A and C do not have vertical clearances of 27 inches underneath them

Instructors or staff will be around to help with moving around seats and furniture upon request

There is one bathroom, which is not labeled as accessible

The bathroom door is not difficult to open force-wise, does not require pinching, twisting, or grasping to open or lock, does not have a lip underneath it, has handles at accessible heights, and has an opening that is 34 inches wide

The general layout and dimensions of the bathroom is accessible and spacious, however there is a dresser and rug in the bathroom that could make it slightly difficult for some customers to navigate or turn around in the bathroom

There are 3 grab bars around the toilet in appropriate locations

The toilet paper is about 9-10 inches from the center of the front of the toilet, and is on a portable stand which customers might move

The lights switches are not at accessible heights off the floor, and the lights are not automatic

The sink and soap bottles are at accessible heights in the bathrooms, and the mirror, paper towels, and Febreeze are not

The pipes underneath the sink are insulated, but there is a trash can that restricts the approach to and underneath the sink

There is a field on the registration form for classes that allows customers to indicate if any accommodations are needed

Employees are going or have gone through a disability etiquette training to differentiate their customer service
