1AC-CESSIBILITY
Let's make high school speech and debate more accessible for everyone.
WHO WE ARE
The 1AC is the first speech in a debate. 1AC-CESSIBILITY (pronounced "one-accessibility" or "one-AC" for short) is here to start the conversation within speech and debate about how to be more equitable for disabled participants.
As it stands, high school speech and debate could do a lot more to be inclusive. We are here to make this activity a better place for all of its future competitors.
WHAT WE OFFER
An opportunity for speech and debate organizations to make meaningful change.
READ AND SHARE JUDGE TRAINING MATERIALS
We created a judge training video and PDF guide with advice on how to judge speech and debate events with consideration for disability. See the materials for yourself here.
