Accessible Course Design

Accessibility ensures that individuals with disabilities can obtain information and engage in services as fully, equally, and independently as those without disabilities. This inclusive design approach, which incorporates accessibility from the outset, benefits all learners by proactively preventing barriers. It promotes inclusion, expands potential audiences, demonstrates care for others, and is legally mandated.
