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. To achieve this, disability services professionals must delve deeper into the interactive process and adopt a student-centered approach. This session explores how disability service professionals can reframe their current accommodation processes through an equity lens when working with deaf students.

Webinar Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the unique challenges and barriers faced by deaf students in accessing accommodations within postsecondary education settings.
  • Learn strategies for incorporating a student-centered approach into the accommodation process for deaf students, including effective communication methods and proactive support mechanisms.
  • Explore how to reframe accommodation processes through a diferent lens to ensure access and participation for deaf students in all aspects of campus life.
