The Spring 2023 AHEAD Webinar Series Continues

Announced on: Thursday, Mar. 30, 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:

Designing the Flexible Attendance Accommodation for Maximum Effectiveness. Presenter Adam Meyer, Ph.D., Director of Student Accessibility Services, University of Central Florida.

Thursday, April 13, 10-11:30 a.m.

Zoom webinar ID#: 863 5582 4384
Passcode: v0UMx_XzoA

Students with chronic health or mental health conditions that may be unpredictable in nature and could impact the ability to attend classes sometimes request an accommodation generally referred to as "flexible attendance." How can Disability Resource professionals determine whether this accommodation is appropriate and if so, how to implement it effectively? This webinar will address how facilitating this accommodation requires working toward concrete outcomes rather than relying on generic statements. Explore how this accommodation can be practically designed as a concept, worded in an accommodation letter, and put into practice in collaboration with faculty. Plenty of time for Q&A will be provided.
