[Athen] accommodations/Disabilities statements

[Ochoa, Louise]

In conjunction with this topic, I'm wondering if others would share whether they are including a statement of accessibility for their learning management systems ( a Quality Matters standard) in their syllabi accommodations statement, or in a technology section of the syllabi, or perhaps solely in their courses?

Like others, we can't require the specific text below, but there is an expectation that some notification is included in the syllabus (URL:?https://oae.stanford.edu/faculty-teaching-staff/syllabus-statement):


Students with Documented Disabilities

Students who may need an academic accommodation based on the impact of a disability must initiate the request with the Office of Accessible?Education (OAE). ?Professional staff will evaluate the request with required documentation, recommend reasonable accommodations,
 and prepare an?Accommodation Letter for faculty dated in the current quarter in which the request is being made. Students should contact the OAE as soon as?possible since timely notice is needed to coordinate accommodations. ?The OAE is located at 563 Salvatierra
 Walk (phone: 723-1066, URL:?http://oae.stanford.edu).







A bit wordy, but as with many things, it's a work in progress...





Take care,

Sean

I went to Karen from Karlen Communications preconference on accessible
documents at CSUN, as well as her session on PDF/UA and they were both
excellent. The handouts that she shares on her site are really useful.

I also attended sessions from staff from Simply Accessible, and they
were also great. In particular, I think Derek Featherstone, was an
engaging and knowledgable presenter.

I'm not sure if either of these companies charge in US or Canadian, but
the Canadian dollar sucks right now, so you might get some added value
there.

Cheers,
Tara

we are trying to come up with an equivalent.

Karen,

Is there a way to use a text outline with the descriptions of each of the items?  Here?s a good description on the Penn State accessibility site on how to make flowcharts and concept maps accessible:  http://accessibility.psu.edu/images/flowcharts/

I went to Karen from Karlen Communications preconference on accessible
documents at CSUN, as well as her session on PDF/UA and they were both
excellent. The handouts that she shares on her site are really useful.

I also attended sessions from staff from Simply Accessible, and they
were also great. In particular, I think Derek Featherstone, was an
engaging and knowledgable presenter.

I'm not sure if either of these companies charge in US or Canadian, but
the Canadian dollar sucks right now, so you might get some added value
there.

Cheers,
Tara

Is there a way to use a text outline with the descriptions of each of the items?  Here?s a good description on the Penn State accessibility site on how to make flowcharts and concept maps accessible:  http://accessibility.psu.edu/images/flowcharts/

Hi Linda,

Clockwork is not going to function on a Mac - it is a Windows only program. There is a limited web interface for students that is usable with most any web browser, but the main program itself is Windows.

Have you reported the issue to the Clockwork people regarding the issue with Dragon? I know they have said they are compatible with Dragon in the past and it is possible that something has changed on either side.

Take care,
Sean

> The Access Technology Center at Missouri State University is hosting a new listserve for professionals in Missouri. The purpose of this list is to provide a way for Access Technology professionals in Missouri to communicate and collaborate. Individuals working in the areas of disability, assistive technology, product accessibility, and supporting IT professionals are welcome. Although the focus is on Missouri Higher Education and the accessibility issues we are experiencing; those working with transition age, employment, non-profit, and government agencies are encouraged to join. Topics may include; accessibility testing of products and programs, solutions for making products and programs accessible, work arounds for online learning platforms, video captioning, and new assistive technology options.

I have heard a few times that their software platform doesn't work well with a Mac on the office admin side, but is completely compatible with Macs on the student interface. Have any of you experienced issues working with Mac computers and the Clockwork software?

Specifically, our institution has transitioned to a math course only offered with the enhancement of MyMathLab. Students are required to do classwork, homework, practice tests, quizzes, and exams through the program, which is presenting some accessibility concerns. We would like to push for the math department to have an on-ground course which is fully accessible.

> 

> A disability disclosure statement that invites students to disclose their needs, such as: Any student who has a need for accommodation based on the impact of a documented disability, including special accommodations for access to technology resources and electronic instructional materials required for the course, should contact me privately to discuss the specific situation by the end of the second week of classes or as soon as practical. If you have not done so already, please contact Disability Resources and Services (DRS) at 215-204-1280 in 100 Ritter Annex to learn more about the resources available to you. I/we will work with DRS to coordinate reasonable accommodations for all students with documented disabilities.
