Don’t scan text and present the “picture” of the text as content.

  29. On-Campus Resources • The Disabled Students Services lab is a great place to find out if your materials are working with adaptive tech • The High Tech Center Training Unit offers terrific trainings for free. • FGA has resources available through the Faculty Support pages. • And don’t forget the government pages:www.section508.gov/

  30. Summary • Consider Universal Design the objective, not a special accommodation. • Use your resources • Try to get in the habit of using the guidelines you’ve learned • Help create a world where inclusion is just how things are.
