Identifying and Removing Barriers to Access: Using a Framework to Guide Considerations of Complex Requests

Thursday, February 13, 3:00-4:30 EASTERN
Jamie Axelrod, M.S., Northern Arizona University
Adam Meyer, Ed.D., University of Central Florida

When complex requests, such as extending deadlines for assignments, are presented to us, it can be difficult to know how to assess their reasonableness. Much time can be spent analyzing how to proceed. In the end, how do we know if the accommodation would actually address a barrier and provide access? In this webinar, we will explore this question and propose a framework for considering challenging requests. We will model the proposed framework through the example of extended time for deadlines to provide a concrete example of its use. While the framework is not meant to be a checklist that would turn complex requests into routine decisions, having a structured approach to considering requests can increase confidence in decision-making.

Strategic Outreach: Spreading Accessibility throughout Campus

Tuesday, February 18, 3:00-4:00 EASTERN
Dawn Hunziker, M.A., University of Arizona
Barbie Lopez, University of Arizona

Disability resource personnel are committed to designing campuses that are fully accessible. From our offices, often seen primarily as student services, how do we ensure equitable experiences for everyone across the campus? Participants will learn to identify opportunities for engagement and strategies for achieving routine inclusion in campus projects related to digital accessibility, with a minimum of technical expertise. The University of Arizona’s current DRC staff structure and our involvement with procurement, IT initiatives, campus-wide and individual department outreach and collaborative presentations/workshops will be demonstrated as use-case examples to take back to your institution.
