Accessible Learning Services Best Practice Considerations - Ableism/Disablism in Postsecondary Teaching and Learning Contexts

Accessible Learning Services shares some best practices considerations:

  • While accommodations aim to minimize academic barriers experienced by students, they do not address the inherent ableist practices that students and staff experience in higher education 

  • These include: inaccessible and non-inclusive spaces, technology, services and policies   

  • It is important that we all recognize the ways in which ableism exists in higher education and learning  

  • In doing so, we can challenge these assumptions and continue striving for an inclusive and equitable teaching and learning environment
