2 ACCESS Cal Poly is required to ensure equitable access and opportunity to all qualified students Providing disability services is about access. Cal Poly is mandated to ensure that all qualified students are provided with the equal access and oppty to participate in the educational process. DRC’s role in the campus’ effort to meet this legal obligation is to verify the student’s eligibility for disability services. Students provide comprehensive disability documentation from which reasonable and appropriate accommodations are determined based on each student’s limitations.

9 How can you help? How can you help to create an inclusive, accessible campus? When developing programming, planning events, etc., consider the diverse needs of all potential participants. We’re here to help too-include us in the discussion if needed.

10 ACCESS Important to consider accessibility when developing your programming. Physical Access: Mention location/path of travel and meeting rooms set-up

11 Example of a physical barrier.
Not realistic to expect you to change the location or the door knob because of this issue but instead consider propping the door open or assigning someone to open the door as attendees arrive/depart. True story…we found out (after the fact!) that there was a CPP student whose major was Art so she spent a lot of time in building 13. This student used a wheelchair and had limited strength in her upper body…Well, one of the doors is not automated and is heavy/difficult to open. This student would have to wait until another student entered or exited the building before she could get to class.

12 Beyond the physical aspects, consider any related web content, handouts, presentations, newsletters.
Examples of web accessible font. Many of the style attributes also apply to printed materials. Make sure to include stmt about accommodations as part of the registration process

Website Accessibility How To: webaim.org/resources/ Accessibility Evaluator: wave.webaim.org/  Video/Media Accessibility: digitalgov.gov/2014/06/30/508 Printable Documents Accessibility: webaim.org/techniques/acrobat/acrobat calpoly.edu/~lfose/tutorials/Converting_Word_to_ADA_Compliant_PDFs.pdf Accessible Meeting Locations: ada.gov/smbusgd.pdf Accessibility Resources You don’t have to get rid of images and graphics! Images and graphics make content more pleasant and easier to understand for many people, and in particular for those with cognitive and learning disabilities. They’re also beneficial for people with visual impairments because, if accessible, they will make it easier to navigate the site or document.
