Unfortunately youtube isn't allowing me to "embed" this video so you can view it on my blog. However, I think it's a great video.
The description of the video is as follows:
This UCAS guide is to help disabled students learn how to apply for support while at university and how the universities can help students with disabilities
It features real students and helps students with the process of applying for support services. I think every school should have something like this.
The it gives the nonverbal message that the UCAS really cares about their students with disabilities. Even just taking the time to create a high quality video for students with disabilities is enough... on top of that... it's extremely helpful.
I just wanted to post this as a great example of what schools should be doing for their students.
Other schools offer much of the same guidance.
Welcome to the Centre for Students with Disabilities. CSD staff work as a collaborative team to ensure students with disabilities have equal opportunities for academic success. We strive to include the student, their faculty and staff on campus in the accommodation process.
The CSD operates under the Ontario Human Rights Code (OHRC) and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). Services are provided for students with documented disabilities. Accommodation supports include but are not limited to:
- Testing support- Transition support for incoming students- Disability advocacy- Learning skills support- Adaptive technology training- Alternate format course material
Students are encouraged to contact us as soon as they are accepted to schedule an intake appointment. By scheduling your appointment well in advance of the start of your first term, we can determine and implement your accommodations in a timely manner.
High School student parody spin-off on the classic game show: Family Feud. Students are teamed up against one another in this three question show-down to prove which team has more knowledge about the expectations of college life and what rights you have as a student with a disability attending college, tech school, or community college.
The project, Innovative Partnerships for Advancing Youth Employment, was the concept of PACER. All of the teens involved in the internship project have disabilities, and they learned new job skills while creating several videos to teach others how to navigate their own transition into adulthood after high school. This innovative PACER project was funded by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development Office of Vocational Rehabilitation Services.(I love this. how creative!)
The project, which provided a paid internship opportunity for students with disabilities, was a creative collaboration of postsecondary programs, workforce development, PACER Center staff, and students from two high school
