for Educators

Accessibility is a shared responsibility of everyone in the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ community. For educators, it is important to plan and design your course(s) so that the material is inherently inclusive and accessible for all. More than ever, students learn in a variety of ways, using different methods and media. Accessible teaching can minimize the need for individual support for students with disability while enhancing the learning of all students.
