The purpose of this training is to help teachers understand the importance of creating and curating accessible content, instructional materials, and digital platforms for students. Accessible features are helpful to many students, but essential for some students with disabilities to access school content.  Accessible learning is essential to help students maintain privacy, independence, and barrier-free access.  The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II Final Rule requires all governmental entities (including public schools) to provide accessible content and programs to students and their families.  This course will be 2 hours of learning and 1 hour of follow-up, consisting of creating accessible documents.
