Facilitator: Kim Eddings, Accessibility Services Coordinator
Accessibility Services has developed a “packaged” guide to disability and disability-related resources that we would love to introduce to all faculty and staff. Included in this SoftChalk Create guide is information to assist you in teaching students with disabilities, planning lessons, developing work spaces that meet accessibility guidelines, as well as reinforcing the Universal Design for Learning principle that “what is good for one, is good for all.” Please join us as we walk through this guide and ask that you provide valuable feedback for updates and improvements.
