OPINION: 'Creating a more inclusive world where all people feel like they belong starts with education, of course, and it shouldn’t take the high court’s decree to ensure that disabled students succeed. Educators can make their courses accessible with a…
As school is in full swing in Arizona, I hope educators are thinking about the accessibility of course content and delivery.
People are also reading… So what can we do about it? Some people are abled, so they work and make money. Some people are disabled, so they can’t work and live on governmental assistance. Right? First, educators should post worksheets and reading materials in a sans serif font like Ariel. My TBI resulted in double vision and I struggled to read Times New Roman, which seemed to be education’s golden child. Worst of all, because many texts were written in that font, or some other decoratively obtrusive style, I felt like I didn’t deserve to pursue an education. After all, materials were not designed for me, so I thought I shouldn’t be there.
Lastly, if educators are watching a video in class or posting one to the LMS, they should make sure it is captioned by default. A lot of times the closed captioning button is difficult to locate for people like me with perception difficulties. At the very least, make sure viewers can enable captions because we know that captioning benefits many, if not all, learners.
