Webinar Description: 

Figuring out access as a deaf student can feel like navigating a maze filled with roadblocks. We get it – advocating for accommodations isn’t always a walk in the park! It’s a journey that requires extra work to request and negotiate access while following policies and procedures. As a college student, this is a lot especially when balancing other responsibilities!

Exciting news! This webinar is your ultimate guide on dealing with college disability services offices. Get ready to learn effective strategies for self-advocacy. We’ll cover when and how to make formal complaints about accessibility issues and the entire process involved. From exploring various accommodation options to effectively requesting support from disability services, we’ve got your back. This is your chance to grab invaluable insights and tools for successful advocacy. Join us and unlock the secrets to advocating for yourself like a pro!

 

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify when it would be appropriate to initiate a formal complaint process if access concerns have not been addressed.
  • Locate information about the grievance process within their institution and with the Office of Civil Rights.
  • Share information that should be included in an official grievance and essential steps to take when going through a complaint process.
