Changing the Culture: Creating an Atmosphere that is Accessible and Welcoming to All

• In Event: Changing the Culture to Create an Atmosphere Accessible and Welcoming to All

Short Description

Checklists, automated tools, and broader awareness of the Americans with Disabilities Act allow educators and content developers to more easily implement accessible features. This then leads to harder questions of how to address accessibility in upper-level and STEAM classes. This panel discussion allows for participants to address these questions, share experiences in providing accessible content, and learn about the experiences of those with accessibility needs working with those resources.
