What Does Accessibility Mean To Our Community? The View from Campus Disability and Accessibility Services

Publishers are paying increased attention to making digital content accessible. In order to do so successfully, we need to hear from diverse stakeholders, including those not often heard from in our ecosystem, about what is needed, what works, what doesn't, and new or emerging tools and technologies that publishers should be aware of. We will hear from Portland Community College Accessible Education & Disability Resources staff and faculty to engage in a dialogue about these topics. In this session, we will discuss the dynamics of providing accessible education and the practical aspects of providing resources for students, helping to set priorities for publishers as we work to truly address this challenge rather than "checking the box." Portland Community College is recognized as a leader in this area, and this session is intended for a range of SSP attendees who will benefit from the perspectives of the panelists.
