Regional round up
Henshaws College – Mike ThrussellACCESS: Images
Students finding images for posters and projects can find it difficult to save and/or copy images for use due to the need for right clicking and selecting an option. Using the Google images API, a new interface will be developed that would offer a simplified method to find images online for use in documents or projects. This platform would have the ability to easily print or copy images from the Internet.
ACCESS: Feedback
This new bespoke evaluation platform would offer symbol supported methods for learners to have an independent voice; answering tutor composed questions using assistive technologies. Data can be easily compiled and presented, saving both time and printed resources. Students with literacy difficulties will be supported using text-to-speech technologies.
ACCESS: Mail
This platform would offer symbol supported methods for learners to setup and use their own personal email account using any assistive computer access methods; specifically aimed at simplifying the content for screen-reader use. For learners requiring literacy support who are not using screen-readers, high-quality text-to-speech technologies will be employed to read out emails.
ACCESS: YouTube (Version 2)
In order to include this successful resource to be included in the ACCESS: Technology suite ACCESS: YouTube will be updated to match in style and link to the other web resources in the suite.

Context
Whoever is "not allowing" assistive technology had better have a good alternative reasonable adjustment that is acceptable to the learner otherwise they could find themselves attracting unwelcome publicity as well as a rather large settlement claim. Too many disabled learners still accept poor service and unacceptable barriers because they are not aware of the range of adjustments that could be made, the technologies that could be used or the procurement policies that ought to be in place to ensure that no organisation wide systems are purchased unless accessibility has been considered.

The Law
Reasonable adjustments need to be made to ensure disabled persons do not suffer substantial disadvantage.
………..institutions need to be anticipatory and proactive in encouraging disabled persons to participate in the education provision and the various activities of each institution…..
![Page 7: Ein incl171212](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062419/558b22c4d8b42a9f478b45b8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Law
It is unlawful to discriminate against a disabled student•In respect to student services provided or offered.
Student services has a broad meaning but will include teaching and learning, examinations and access to learning resources including digital resources and facilities.

Quick check
Do you:--•Ensure all your documents are fully accessible and provide these in alternative formats, if requested?
• E.g. do you use style sheets in Word, speaker notes in PowerPoint, provide transcripts or a brief text summary of video material
•Ensure all your information is accessible by portable devices 24/7?•Offer support to tutors or obtain support to make material accessible?•Offer support in examinations?•Make “reasonable adjustments”?

Reasonable adjustments
Depends on many factors:-•Cost and effectiveness•The nature of the institution, its size and resources available•However…….cost must be balanced against rights and is not a defence in law, especially if a person suffers a “substantial disadvantage” - clearly open to interpretation.

So….the main consideration of this session is what constitutes a reasonable adjustment. Please feel free to comment at any time.

Context
But….what are the real motivators for inclusion?•Achievement and retention•Desire to ensure that all students have the best learning experience•Personalised learning•Reputation•Care for the student•Fear of the law? Well….maybe but on a personal level, probably not.

Scenarios
Sarah has moderate visual impairment which means that she needs a magnifier to read documents and needs a similar approach for reading material online. She recently arrived at the college from a school and wants to study on a Health and Social Care course. The school supplied her with a large and rather cumbersome magnifier which she did not bring with her.
What are the issues and how would you potentially deal with them?

Scenarios
Paul has been diagnosed with mild autistic spectrum disorder (Asperger’s Syndrome) and wishes to study A level physics and maths. His grades at school would allow him to do this. His academic performance overall at school was above average in his chosen subjects but he did not form friendships, except on a limited basis and is very much a “loner”
