uodsp: AEC Accessibility Ally Training- Spring Term

[Kari DeVall]

Hello fellow colleagues,

The Accessible Education Center (AEC) will be holding the Accessibility Ally Program<https://aec.uoregon.edu/accessibilityally>/Training during this upcoming Spring term. The Accessibility Ally Program 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 with this program is to create a network of allies committed to eliminating the attitudinal, physical, and curricular barriers experience by students with disability at the University of Oregon.

There are two components of the Accessibility Ally Program:


  1.  An online module<https://uomytrack.pageuppeople.com/learning/3178>, that is available at anytime through MyTrack.
     *   This 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.


  1.  Live Workshop
     *   Topics will include conceptualizations of disability, disability identifies, disability history, disability representation, ableist language and microaggressions against people with disabilities, and universal design. This workshop will consist of two portions, a virtual component and then an in-person component.
                                                              i.      Spring Term 2024 Workshop Dates:
