<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Hi Serena,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">We have a cross-campus workgroup that has crafted our Accessible IT Policy and Procedures and is now working on the finer points of purchasing flow, training, etc. Our SSD office is an integral part of the conversations
along with leaders from IT, eLearning, Library, Institutional Research, our Registrar, faculty, Communications and Marketing, Financial Services, Human Resources (and I'm probably forgetting someone too). SSD folks input is essential because they are the
most knowledgeable about the ADA, 508 and can share the impact on our students when IT is not accessible. Our Associate Dean for Student Support Programs (including SSD) was very involved in the Policy & Procedures creation process for the same reasons.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Creating an accessible (IT) campus is a responsibility for everyone because it touches almost every area of what we do and, happily, our campus has embraced the work.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">During our Opening Week this year, most of our workgroup members jointly presented an overview of the new policy, background on the legal aspects, etc.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Hope this is helpful!</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Best,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Amy</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Good Morning:</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Question….I’m interested in knowing how involved the office of Disability Services has been in the creation/ implementation of your institution’s Accessibility Plan?</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Were there any trainings provided by the office of Disability Services regarding accessibility, the ADA, Section 504, roles and responsibilities, etc.?
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">How could the offices of Disability Services be a part of the implementation of the Accessibility Plans?
</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Thank you in advance, and I really appreciate your time and feedback!</p>
