Running a Small Disability Services Office: Tips and Tricks
Are you an office of one? Or one of just a few people providing disability services to the whole campus? In this webinar you'll hear from people who understand, and their tips and tricks to not only manage the workload, but to also connect beyond your campus to other colleges and colleagues. |
Universal Design for Learning 101
You've probably heard the term "universal design" but what does it mean? This webinar will cover the basics of Universal Design for Learning in college-level courses, with practical ideas from faculty and disability services providers for implementing universal design on your campus. |
Realities of Interpreting and CART Services
Disability services offices are often working with limited resources, and paying for interpreters and CART can stretch a budget. They can also be difficult to provide, given interpreter and CART shortages everywhere in the US. In this webinar, we'll discuss strategies for providing these services, how deaf or hard-of-hearing students may use them, and strategies for showing administrators why they are a legal obligation, morally and culturally necessary, and worth every penny. |
