The Spring 2023 AHEAD Webinar Series Continues

Announced on: Friday, Mar. 17, 2023

Accessibility Resource Center (ARC) continues its series of engaging and thought-provoking webinars offered through the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD).

The Spring 2023 Webinar Series was created to address current issues that face all institution types. Sessions will address early career guidance, provide deeper responses to recurring questions that arise on the AHEAD Community discussion boards, and to address ongoing desires for training that connect disability identities to other intersectional identities and experiences. Content experts on particular disability types will offer insight on how professionals at any level can improve institutional responses to particular student needs.

Our next webinar is:

Personal Care Attendants and College Students: An Introduction and Guide, Presenters Annie Tulkin, MS, Founder and Director, Accessible College; and L. Scott Lissner, MSEd., ADA Coordinator/504 Compliance Officer, Ohio State University.

Tuesday, March 28, 12-1:30 p.m.

Zoom webinar ID#: 892 8790 2441

"Students who have personal care attendants (PCAs) are arriving at colleges in greater numbers, and Disability Resource professionals don't always know how to best support them. How does the school handle housing for students with PCAs? Are fully accessible restrooms available? How does a PCA function in a classroom setting? What about exams? This webinar will cover the role of a PCA on campus; the legal responsibilities of the school and the student; examples of PCA policies, including emergency procedures; what families of incoming students should know; and best practices, including how to conduct the interactive process with a student with a PCA who is enrolling and requesting accommodations."
