The purpose of Unified Arabic Braille Portal is to present the Arabic Braille table in math and science signs/ symbols, as well as to develop the first eight-dots Arabic computer braille table to take benefit of its multiple features, such as writing or reading a single code in a single cell and supporting some computer signs.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework for learning design. It is based on research in the learning sciences that each individual is unique in how they learn, and within that variability are patterns that are systematic and predictable based on three neural networks that govern the learning process in the brain (Meyer et al., 2014). Knowing the sources and ranges of this variability helps learning designers proactively design to address it. UDL reflects a paradigm shift from curriculum-centered classrooms to learner-centered classrooms that allow for flexibility in learning. The goal of UDL is for all students to have access to learning and for all students to have agency as learners.

After a decision-making team has selected the accessible format(s) needed and identified where to acquire them, the team considers what types of supports are needed for a learner to use the accessible materials for school, at home, at work, or in the community.

In order to be successful with using accessible formats, learners will need a number of supports.

This lesson will step you through creating a copy of the Special Education verification form and filling it out.  This will allow you to verify that you are meeting the minutes on student's IEP's.  This will help your Special Education program remain in compliance and provide administrators a shareable document that will allow them to easily see schedules.

A set of questions that can be used to evaluate the accessibility of materials considered for procurement.

Kelly Hammond, Open Educational Resources (OER) and Instructional Technology Adjust at CUNY School of Professional Studies, talks about the importance of developing a strategic introduction to the OER-DEIA Action Plan for K-12 District Implementation that provides users with critical information that gives them a solid foundation when beginning their OER-DEIA journey.  As she developed this section of the guide she reflected on her own OER journey and asked herself the guiding question, "What would I have needed to know in order to get there faster and more comfortably?"

Tracy Rains, Virtual Learning Specialist at Appalachia Intermediate Unit, talks about developing two key components of the OER-DEIA Action Plan for K-12 District Implementation:  The Collaboration Plan and the Educator and Staff Professional Learning Plan.  She provides insight into why both of these sections are critical to the success of any OER-DEIA initiative.

This video provides an overview of the K-12 Voices for Open OER-DEIA Action Plan for K-12 District Implementation.  Amee Evans Godwin of ISKME and Rebecca M. Henderson of the Westmoreland Intermediate Unit provide you with an overview of the work being done by K-12 Voices for Open, the purpose of this guide, and the process of developing the guide.  Finally, they walk you through the nine sections of the K-12 Voices for Open OER-DEIA Action Plan for K-12 District Implementation, and explain the ways in which the sections can be used by districts.

This google doc has links to videos and other resources organized by Topic. Many are only a few minutes long, and tightly focused on helping educators solve common assistive technology issues.

The ADA National Network provides several ways to access informational materials about the ADA.

This page introduces the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) international standard, including WCAG 2.0, WCAG 2.1, and WCAG 2.2. WCAG documents explain how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities.

Web accessibility refers to the design and development of websites, tools, and technologies in
a manner that enables individuals with disabilities to utilize them.
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
― Describe the guiding principles of web Accessibility
― Identify major features of HTML Accessibility
― Review the essential components of web Accessibility
― Discuss approaches towards ensuring Web Accessibility

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops international standards for the Web: HTML, CSS, and many more.

The W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) develops standards and support materials to help you understand and implement accessibility.

Web Accessibility for Developers is a technical book aimed primarily at programmers. Learn how to develop accessible interactivity on the Web and gain expertise using WAI-ARIA, a W3C specification that enables optimal use of assistive technologies, like screen readers, when navigating the Web.

In this module, we will provide all related information about web and document accessibility and ways of implementation.

All comprehensive school counseling programs include Tier 1 supports - provided within the larger context of a schoolwide MTSS - to promote students' academic, social/emotional, and college/career development. Join us to explore what Tier 1 truly means for CSCPs and learn how to assess your site’s school counseling Tier 1 implementation.Learning Objectives:(1) Explore ways to thoughtfully consider how to deliver Tier 1 school counseling supports that ensure ALL students gain the attitudes, knowledge, and skills they need to be successful(2) Learn strategies to assess our current level of implementation and make plans for strengthening the Tier 1 school counseling program, in partnership with administrators.

Material access is a topic that both school library staff and assistive technologists are deeply connected with and passionate about. However, there are often times in which professionals in these fields are disconnected. In this session, Kasey Fernandez, MEd shares policy and practice changes the Tigard-Tualatin School District has made as a result of collaboration between the assistive technology and school library leads.

Sarah Statham, MEd Transition Network Facilitator (TNF) Multnomah, Washington, Columbia & Clatsop counties | Lon Thornberg, MEd Transition Network Facilitator (TNF) Eastern Oregon with InterMountain ESD |The Transition IEP contains post-secondary goals in education, training, employment, and independent living. This session will share universal tech tools for transition that support and accommodate transition age students on the journey to reaching their post-secondary goals. This session will also highlight collaborative and coordinated relationships between students, educators, specialist’s and outside agencies that can be enhanced by the understanding of student’s use and past history with AEM & AT. Use of tools and AEM strategies to access transition activities and resources will be shared.

Session #1 of 8 AEM Across the Lifespan with OTAP - An Accessible Educational Materials Virtual Mini-Conference (recorded 12.07.23)Presented by Debra FitzgibbonsSession Description: Inclusion of all learners in all Early Childhood environments begins by ensuring equal access to learning activities for all children. Timely provision of accessible options ensures learners with disabilities can access the same information, engage in meaningful participation, and enjoy the same services as non-disabled students, with equivalent ease of use. This session will review common vocabulary, reference relevant state and national legislation related to AEM in the early years and connect the dots by sharing examples of Assistive Technology and Accessible Educational Materials in Early Childhood Environments. It is never too early to help learners explore and discover what works for them.
