Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) presents an audio conference on:

“A Clear Standard for Access to Instruction”
Thursday, August 29, 2013, 2:00pm-3:30pm
PSU 313

On July 23, 2013, the Department of Justice announced a settlement agreement with Louisiana Tech University regarding inaccessible course materials. This is the latest interpretation of college campuses’ obligations under the ADA. As a result of this decision, the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) is offering an audio conference to review this decision and provide some ideas for best practice.

This audio conference will help us begin to evaluate the accessibility of our online and electronic instruction and services, and help us think about how we might resolve barriers. Please review the link below for more information.
