Accessibility Services
Learning how to assist students with disabilities is a new professional interest of mine. My goal for the next couple of years is to read more about this service area and to become more skilled in providing services to these learners.
Community of Practice to Assist Students with Disabilities
Students with disabilities have more barriers than other students. Research supports that providing students with extra service options can improve their chances to graduate. A Community of Practice with a well planned scope of service can meet a variety of the needs these students require while easing the workload of staff.
