Training and resources developed to empower faculty and staff in crafting accessibility-compliant content.
Accessibility vs. Accommodation
We need to make a clear distinction between accessibility and accommodation.
- Accessibility is Proactive. It is how we respond to the needs of populations, not individuals. It is rooted in our efforts to comply with Section 508 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and its later amendments.
- Accommodation is Reactive. It is how we respond to the needs of individuals, not populations. It is rooted in our efforts to comply with Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and its later amendments.
