Accessibility Means Education for All

Lately, I have heard about and participated in discussions about accessibility in higher education – for students, but also for faculty and staff. I am thrilled these discussions are happening on our campus, and that they acknowledge a range of (dis)abilities and neurodiversities.

We currently have content on the topic under the accessibility tag. Most of our current accessibility content focuses on the selection and development of course materials during the course design process. However, we are continuing to expand on this content.

In our latest podcast with Rebecca Cagle, Senior Trainer for UNTWISE and accessibility expert, and Dr. Brandi Levingston, Senior Lecturer with the Rehabilitation and Health Services Department, we discuss the ethical and legal importance of accessibility in higher education and how accessibility benefits all people regardless of ability.

Stay tuned for more on the topic of accessibility in higher education!
