Keep the following specialized equipment in your computer lab to make it more accessible for students with disabilities.
Provide flexibility and additional resources for students with health impairments to ensure that these students get the most out of your class.
Collaborate closely with students who are mobility-impaired to establish what they want to accomplish with a computer, this way you can explore accommodations that allow them to meet their goals.
Provide electronic copies of readings and textbooks to ensure that students with mobility impairments can access your course materials.
Allow students who have trouble handwriting to type up assignments and assessments on word processing tools so they can focus on communicating their understanding of the material.
Provide transcripts or text captioning of multimedia materials that have audio output (such as videos) to ensure these materials are accessible to students with hearing impairments.
Avoid content that flashes on your website to eliminate risk for students who are susceptible to seizures.
Be thoughtful when choosing colors for course materials, especially websites, because certain color combinations cause difficulties for students who are color blind.
Make sure your course website uses consistent formatting and is not cluttered so that students with low vision can access the website.
Provide text descriptions of images and transcripts of videos in your course to ensure that all students can access class materials.
