Subject: AEC Accessibility Ally program

Hello everyone!

The UO Accessible Education Center is excited to invite you to our upcoming Accessibility Ally<https://aec.uoregon.edu/accessibilityally> workshops! This is an opportunity for interested faculty and staff to increase awareness related to disability and develop skills and knowledge to act as an ally for accessibility and inclusion of students with disabilities. Our mission is to create a network of allies throughout the division and campus who are committed to eliminating the attitudinal, physical, and curricular barriers experienced by students with disabilities at the University of Oregon.

There are two components of the Accessibility Ally Program:

  1.  Live Workshop - remote via Zoom, two parts, offered once per term
  2.  Online Module<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/uomytrack.pageuppeople.com/learning/3178__;!!C5qS4YX3!TSiEkeOOjyBIfEUASXYuTA_HX8NCybkkAMMMHFrMDcJsNl3adSPyL71NcOShReYs$> - available anytime through MyTrack

Workshop topics include conceptualizations of disability, disability identities, disability history, disability representation, ableist language and microaggressions against people with disabilities, and universal design. The Online Module is designed for instructors, but open to all employees, and covers topics including disability and higher education, legal foundations, universal design, typical barriers and accommodations, instructor responsibilities, and AEC processes.

Upcoming Live Workshop Sessions:

  *   Part 1: Friday, March 4th from 10am-12pm via Zoom
  *   Part 2: Friday, March 11th from 10am-12pm via Zoom
