At Ground & Grow Somatics, we are committed to creating an inclusive and accessible environment where everyone, regardless of ability, can participate fully in our services and offerings. We believe that wellness, healing, and connection should be available to all.
1. Our Commitment
We are dedicated to providing our services in a way that respects the dignity, independence, integration, and equal opportunity of people with disabilities. We strive to identify, remove, and prevent barriers to access in alignment with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).
2. Communication and Support
We communicate with individuals in ways that take their accessibility needs into account.
This includes:
-
Offering materials and information in accessible formats upon request
-
Providing verbal guidance during in-person sessions to support movement or meditation practices
-
Ensuring all online and in-person experiences are welcoming, inclusive, and sensory-sensitive
If you require accommodations before or during a session, please contact us in advance so we can make appropriate arrangements.
3. Assistive Devices and Service Animals
Clients are welcome to use their own assistive devices while accessing our services.
Service animals and support persons are always welcome in our spaces, both indoor and outdoor.
4. Training and Awareness
We continually learn and adapt to ensure accessibility is woven into the way we design and deliver programs. Training and education are ongoing as part of our professional development and commitment to inclusive care.
5. Feedback Process
Your feedback helps us grow and improve accessibility in our services.
If you have comments, questions, or suggestions on how we can serve you better, please reach out to us at groundandgrowsomatics@gmail.com.
