Instructor Resources for 可访问性 Assistance

住宿 & 可访问性援助

无障碍服务协助学生安排住宿，以减少学生的残疾对他们的学术经历的影响. 无障碍服务和学生之间确定什么是“合理的”.

Students have the right to accessible accommodations, 住宿信描述了学生的住宿情况，由学生个人提交给教师.

  • Students must meet the same academic standards as their classmates.
  • 学院没有义务提供会从根本上改变课程的住宿.

住宿是不可选择的，并不是留给导师的自由裁量权. However, 可及性服务 encourages consultation, questions, and concerns. 协调员可能或可能没有学生的书面许可来讨论学生残疾的性质, 但可以讨论学生的功能限制有关的个别课堂, 课程, 和测试.

可及性服务 may be able to offer appropriate alternatives, especially where accommodations could fundamentally alter the course. 如果您觉得住宿不适合您的课程或特定课程，请联系无障碍服务.g. 实地考察、实验).

  • 为因残疾原因需要在学习公地参加考试的学生提供专门的考试管理
  • 针对个别学生的课堂和测试适应性进行咨询
  • Consultation regarding students with learning difficulties
  • Preliminary screening of students with possible learning disabilities

有时，学生的住宿将包括使用专门的硬件、软件或服务. 可及性服务 can help by:

  • Find seating for a classroom aide, or sign language interpreter
  • 向我们提供你的教学大纲和/或课堂材料，以便我们安排替代媒体
  • 如果你的课程有定时测试, 你可能会被要求延长考试时间(很多老师会取消时间限制)

If you have a mobility-impaired student and the elevator is out of service:

  • Upper-story classes may have to be temporarily moved to an accessible location
  • 与部门助理一起工作, 建筑物及场地, or 可及性服务 to find an accessible place
  • 用课堂讲稿或私人会议的副本来代替进入教室是不够的, especially if outage is expected to last more than a day or two

  • Students are often referred to the 学习共享 for testing accommodations.
  • 当实际, 学生应该和其他同学同时参加考试，以缓解对考试安全的担忧.
  • 学生可能需要在不同的时间参加考试，以适应延长时间或使用辅助技术的需要.

Our partners in the office of Instructional Systems Technology can assist with:

  • Brightspace accessibility (extending test time limits, 等.)
  • 创建可访问的文档
  • Video captioning and instruction

在创建和发布内容时，您可以使用以下最佳实践来创建可访问的文档:

Microsoft Word:

  • Use Times New Roman or Arial font and a minimum of 12 point size.
  • Use headings to assist in navigation and readability of the document.
  • Ensure all pictures have alternative text.
  • Avoid using SmartArt and text boxes. 许多屏幕阅读器在阅读文本框时会遇到困难，并且在尝试阅读时“卡住”. Charts, tables, and graphs need alternative text.
  • Use the accessibility checker to check your document.

pdf文件:

  • Begin with an accessible Word document.
  • Save it as a PDF after checking accessibility.
  • 如果其他人创建了PDF:
    • Try highlighting text to see if you can select it. If you cannot, it is likely an image.
    • 经常, 使其可访问的最简单方法是使用读 and Write(作为与JCC关联的一部分，您可以免费下载并使用读 and Write)将文档转换为Word文档. Add alternative text and run the accessibility checker, then save as a PDF.

幻灯片:

  • Choose colors that offer good contrast and avoid red and green.
  • Ensure each slide has a unique title.
  • Ensure all pictures have alternative text and caption all video.
  • Make sure text is 24 point or larger (even larger for face-to-face classes, 28+).
  • Use the accessibility checker and ensure elements are read in the correct order.
  • For download, also create an accessible PDF version. Screen readers have a difficult time reading PowerPoint.

Using hyperlinks in any document/presentation:

  • Make sure the hyperlink text is meaningful. Avoid “click here” and other non-descriptive words.

视频:

  • 所有视频都需要字幕. TEI可以帮你.
    • Only about 20% of people who use captioning are deaf. The rest have a variety of access needs. Processing difficulties due to a learning disability or brain injury, the need to have a quieter environment, 更好的注意/关注, “有字幕的信息更容易被吸收”是人们使用字幕的几个原因.
    • 自动字幕(如通过YouTube提供)是不可访问的，因为它会包含错误. 但是，使用它! This is a great tool, but you need to fix the software’s mistakes.
  • Videos should include descriptions.
    • 在大多数讲座中，这是不需要的，因为材料就是你所说的.
    • If you use video that shows how something happens, 或者展示一些东西, 那么就需要描述了. Example: "This is a video of mitosis. 首先发生的是细胞开始生长... ...最后你有两个相同的细胞."
  • 如果你用视频来演示，或者使用的视频没有描述正在发生的事情, be sure to add audio that describes it.
  • For the same reason that captioning is not only for the deaf/hard-of-hearing, video descriptions help everyone.

根据1973年康复法案第504条和1990年美国残疾人法案, 符合条件的残疾学生有权在所有校园项目和服务中进行合理的修改，以使大学教育真正无障碍.

High school special education laws, like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), are designed to ensure student success, 以毕业结束. 个性化教育计划(IEPs)是帮助K-12年级学生尽可能取得成功的正式计划, but are not provided at the college level.

Disability-related information is confidential. 无障碍服务可能没有学生的许可，讨论学生的残疾的性质, but can discuss the student’s needs in the classroom and testing environment.

You should not ask a student about their specific disability (for example, 它是什么或严重程度), 尽管他们可能会自我表露.

要求教室和测试修改的学生必须通过无障碍服务部门工作，并提供支持残疾相关请求的文件.

You can also refer students with disabilities, or students who are unsure but may be eligible for assistance, 无障碍服务.

除非无障碍服务中心通知，否则不要求教师对课程作业或测试进行任何修改. 学生的残疾索赔和住宿要求应提交给无障碍服务办公室进行适当的评估和采取行动.
