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.
