Why add accessibility options to your booking form?

These are small steps we can take that can make a big difference in making our consultation services more inclusive and accessible. Users may feel awkward asking for these adjustments. By choosing to include them on your booking form, you can make the process easier on them while taking ownership of making our services more accessible to all.  

  • Include only the options that you are personally comfortable offering.
  • Edit the questions and options to fit your needs and personal style.
  • Explore the examples below for ideas on phrasing.

How to add accessibility options

You can customize your booking form by going to LibCal > Appointments > Booking Forms. From here, you can find your personal booking form and edit it as you like (see detailed instructions here).

Example of what a user would see when booking the appointment:

Example of what a provider would see when adding these options to their booking form:
