OnDemand Webinar: Re-Framing the Interactive Process to Achieve Effective Communication Access
About This Course
Webinar Description:
For the majority of students who seek accommodations through postsecondary disability services offices, the process of receiving accommodations is typically straightforward: 1) submit a request, 2) have an initial meeting, and 3) receive the necessary accommodations. However, when it comes to ensuring access for deaf students, institutions have a greater responsibility to provide effective communication across all aspects of campus life.
