What Faculty Need to Know about Disability Services and Their Role in the Interactive Process

Enhance your expertise in supporting students with disabilities and implementing their classroom accommodations by joining this workshop with VTSU’s disability services staff. Faculty play a pivotal role in the collaborative process for providing accommodations, and this workshop explains the process in depth, and places a spotlight on the dynamic “interactive process”. You’ll gain a better understanding for how students qualify for disability services, how “flexibility” accommodations may or may not work with your course, and how faculty involvement in this process can improve accessibility and inclusivity for students with disabilities and all students.    

By attending this workshop you will: 

• *Gain insight into the disability accommodation process 
• *Explore the responsibilities professors have in implementing accommodations 
• *Understand your rights and responsibilities within the interactive process
• *Explore accessibility and inclusivity ideas that will benefit all of your students 

Important: Attendees must register for this event. Please do not add the workshop to your calendar until the registration process has been completed.
