AHEAD Fall 2020 Webinar Series: Access Considerations for Students with Disabilities During COVID-19,

Presenters: Paul Grossman, Hastings School of Law, Mary Lee Vance, California State University - Sacramento, Jamie Axelrod, Northern Arizona University.

This is a live webinar hosted by the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) and sponsored by Counseling and Student Accessibility Services (CSAS). We will address masking and other questions pertaining to “direct threat” to health and safety posed by untested, asymptomatic, and symptomatic students with COVID-19. A paradigm for analyzing these cases will be discussed, and links to federal guidance and other useful authorities will be presented. We will also look at online (synchronous, asynchronous, and hybrid) classes and discuss the accommodations required for students with sensory impairments. Given what is known and all that is unknown, what are the practical, implementable solutions? If a student refuses to wear a mask, is this a DSS problem, a health-center problem, or a matter for security and discipline? Suggested solutions will be shared. The webinar will be hosted on ADOBE Connect and streamed to our college community via Microsoft TEAMS. TEAMS join link will be sent to registered participants.
