In this session, we will examine accessibility as a design consideration, building on the social model of disability. Although this is the second part in a 2-part series, participants do not need to have attended part 1. This session will start by briefly re-orientating folks to the key concepts of accessibility, disability, and praxis introduced in session 1. We will then examine design bias and spend some time reflecting on our own biases (everyone has them!) and how they inform our educational practices. Each participant will work towards developing a personal accessibility toolkit consisting of a collection of individual practices that align with our own values and teaching or work context. By the end of this session, participants will have some accessibility tools that they can implement in their own educational context.
