An estimated 50 million people have disabilities in the U.S. today. Disabilities may be temporary, relapsing or remitting, or long-term. Disabilities are complex; they may be a source of stigma or shame and may also be a cherished part of a person’s identity and the basis for meaningful community. The focus of this session is creating inclusive and accessible higher education classrooms—beyond accommodations—for a range of students with and without disabilities. 

Topics in this workshop include: 
Framing Access: Theoretical perspectives related to teaching students with disabilities 
Access in Context: Disability Rights Movements and Higher Education 
Accessibility Services at Cuyahoga Community College 
Strategies for Creating Accessible Learning Environments 

Hosts: 
Casey Brown, Senior Instructional Designer
