The Student Accessibility Services office is excited to continue the important partnership with the faculty of Ithaca College. Providing equal access to education is a responsibility that all of us share. About 10% of our student population is registered with Student Accessibility Services. As a faculty member, it is likely that you will work with students on campus with a variety of disabilities including, but not limited to, learning disabilities, visual and hearing impairments, physical impairments, psychiatric or psychological conditions, and other health related needs. Our staff will discuss helpful information to ensure that the needs of each individual student are met to create an accessible learning environment for all.

Topics that will be covered include: process and procedures of the Student Accessibility Services office, roles and responsibilities, academic accommodations, adaptive technology, and universal design. There will be time for questions and answers.
Presenters include:
Leslie Kelly, Manager, Student Accessibility Services
Jean Astorina, Student Accessibility Specialist
Beth O'Connell, Student Accessibility Specialist
Dan Williams, Adaptive Technology Specialist
