AHEAD Spring 2021 Webinar Series: Critical Lenses for Disability Services, Tuesday, April 13, 2021; 2:00-3:30 PM Central Time Presenters: Jon McGough, Western Washington University and Mary Gerard, Bellingham Technical College. This is a live webinar hosted by the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) and sponsored by Counseling and Student Accessibility Services (CSAS). Challenging access situations are prevalent in higher education, and it’s tough to know where to turn for advice on the “right” answer. Ask a question on a listserv and get a dozen different answers: someone will quote a court case and OCR Resolution Agreement, another colleague will bring up universal design, and a third will provide an explanation based on systems of power, privilege, and ableism. This is what makes listservs confusing but also wonderful! ADA compliance, universal design, student development theory, and disability studies are not mutually exclusive schools of thought; they are critical lenses to analyze and inform our work. We’ll discuss these “lenses” and share case studies outlining how we can use each in resolving questions of access. The webinar will be hosted on Zoom and streamed to staff via Microsoft TEAMS. TEAMS join link will be sent to registered participants.

AHEAD Spring 2021 Webinar Series: Full and Flexible Participation of Students with Psychological Disabilities, Thursday, April 22, 2021; 2:00-3:30 PM Central Time Presenters: Jane M. Castillon, University of California at Santa Barbara and Jennifer Lofthus, J.D., University of California at Santa Barbara. This is a live webinar hosted by the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) and sponsored by Counseling and Student Accessibility Services (CSAS). Disability resource offices are seeing a rapid expansion of students requesting services based on psychological conditions. The impact requires service professionals to innovate processes, adjust communication strategies, and consider standards for determining reasonable modifications that do not fundamentally alter courses. Existing frameworks inform best practices for communication with faculty and campus stakeholders and center the intersection of course design and disability as both social justice priorities and an ADA mandate. However, differentiating between qualifying for complex accommodation and implementing them and oppositional attitudes can strain our capacity to ensure access. In this webinar, we will discuss the characteristics often associated with psychological conditions that may warrant participation modification, accommodation decision-making, and the balance between reasonable accommodation and fundamental alteration. The webinar will be hosted on Zoom and streamed to staff via Microsoft TEAMS. TEAMS join link will be sent to registered participants.

AHEAD Spring 2021 Webinar Series: Don’t Reinvent the Wheel: Temporary Conditions and Service Provision, Tuesday, April 27th, 2021; 2:00-3:30 PM Central Time Presenters: Jamie Axelrod, Northern Arizona University and Doris Pierce, University of Central Arkansas This is a live webinar hosted by the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) and sponsored by Counseling and Student Accessibility Services (CSAS). One aspect of disability access work, which happens regularly but can be difficult to process and manage, is the provision of temporary accommodation. Multiple situations may call for temporary accommodations, but they can be just as varied as all other requests for accommodations. Therefore, the reasons for providing temporary accommodations and the nature of the barriers students temporarily face need to be looked at on a case-by-case basis, the same as we do when making all accommodation decisions. While that is the case, it can still be challenging to understand when providing temporary accommodations is necessary and how to approach those decisions. There are also numerous aspects to managing the implementation of temporary accommodations that can be tricky. In this webinar, we will explore the whys, hows, and best practices in this area. The webinar will be hosted on Zoom and streamed to CSAS staff via Microsoft TEAMS. TEAMS join link will be sent to registered participants.
