Case Study

Promoting Inclusivity with an Accessible Lectern

Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital, a leading children’s rehabilitation hospital in Toronto, is committed to fostering an inclusive environment for all. To ensure accessibility for speakers of diverse abilities, they partnered with Podium Pros to acquire an Aluminum Motorized Accessible Lectern.

Challenge:

Holland Bloorview sought a lectern solution that could accommodate wheelchair users and speakers of varying heights. They needed a lectern that was not only functional and tech-integrated but also prioritized inclusivity and accessibility.

Solution:

Podium Pros delivered an Aluminum Motorized Accessible Lectern, a versatile and adjustable solution that perfectly aligned with Holland Bloorview’s commitment to inclusivity. This lectern offered:

  • Motorized Height Adjustability: Ranging from 27″ to 40″, ensuring comfortable access for wheelchair users and speakers of different heights.
  • Vinyl Signage: A professionally printed logo that reinforced Holland Bloorview’s brand identity during presentations.
  • Anti-Glare Acrylic Sign Holder Pocket: Providing flexibility for additional branding or messaging.
  • Two XLR Shock Mount Connectors: Enabling quick and easy connection of up to two slim gooseneck microphones.
  • 12″ LED Reading Light: Offering ample illumination with a convenient power switch.
  • Quick Disconnect Connectors and Power Bar: Streamlining AV technician setup and ensuring a seamless presentation experience.
  • Two 2″ Grommets: Facilitating neat cable management for a clean and organized setup.

Result:

The Aluminum Motorized Accessible Lectern has become a valuable asset for Holland Bloorview, empowering speakers of all abilities to effectively communicate their message. It has:

  • Enhanced Accessibility: Created an inclusive environment for all presenters, ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity to participate.
