Accessibility Consultations
Illinois State University is committed to the inclusion of persons with disabilities in University programs and activities. The Center for Integrated Professional Development supports faculty in making course materials accessible in both online and face-to-face teaching environments. A Center staff member will work one-on-one with you to identify steps you can take to ensure that your course materials are equally accessible to all students, including those with disabilities.
Process
The Accessibility Consultation will include one or more of the following, depending on the instructor’s needs and time constraints:
-
1
Initial Meeting
At the initial meeting, we will ask you to provide a context for the process by answering some questions about the course, your students, and your teaching.
-
2
Information Gathering/Research Period (optional)
A Center consultant will gather additional information through material reviews and/or reviews of relevant literature.
-
3
Feedback Phase
The Center consultant will meet with the instructor to share relevant findings from the information gathering/research period.
-
4
Action Phase
Once you have received our feedback, we ask that you determine a “plan of action” for putting our findings into action to enrich your teaching.
