Description
Accessibility is a simple concept in theory, but it can be complicated in practice. What is accessible to someone with a visual disability is not necessarily accessible to someone with a learning disability. At the National AEM Center, we take the approach of asking some additional questions beyond, "Is it accessible?" We understand that accessibility is shaped by what we need to do, our interactions with the environment, and our personal preferences. In this introduction to accessible educational materials (AEM), we’ll dig into multiple facets of what it means for a material to be accessible. Participants will leave with frameworks and resources for continued learning.
