Creating an accessible curriculum

Including students with disabilities in Higher Education

Students bring a unique set of abilities and experiences to college and students with disabilities are no exception. While these students may learn in different ways, these differences do not imply reduced academic capacity.

However, accommodations may be needed. Modifications in the way information is presented may be required and methods of testing and assessment may need to be adapted.

Lecturers can be aided in these efforts by drawing upon the student's own prior learning experiences using available college and departmental resources.

There is no need to dilute curriculum or reduce course requirements for students with disabilities.
