Program Content Enhanced Standard Fun(damental)

Program Accessibility Physical / mobility Cognitive / learning Deafness and hearing loss Blind and low vision Older adults with age related limitations in mobility, cognition / learning, hearing, and/or vision.

Program Accessibility Address wide range and variety of disabilities Accommodations developed for one disability group benefit all participants

Functional Approach Move from Disability Labels to Functional Abilities Based on: - Task to be accomplished - Barriers to accomplishing that task

Functional Approach “Print” Disability Task: Read hand-out Functional Limitation: person unable to access standard printed materials Barriers: ?

Functional Approach Print Disability Barriers: - Unable to see printed material - sensory - Unable to process print - perception - Unable to read - Difficulty attending or focusing - Difficulty manipulating pages

Universal Design Architectural studies of physical access for people with disabilities - Ramps, automatic doors, curb-cuts Eureka! Modifications helped or made life easier for all people

Curb-cut advantage

Universal Instructional Design Design of instructional delivery methods, materials and activities that allow participation by learners with wide differences in their abilities to see, hear, speak, move, write, understand English, attend, organize, engage, and remember. -Council for Exceptional Children

Curb-cut Advantage

UID Inclusiveness Physical access Delivery methods Information access Interaction Feedback Demonstration of knowledge

Inclusiveness Climate of respect for diversity Welcoming environment

Physical Access Design of learning space Minimize need for sustained physical effort Assure safety

Delivery Methods Multiple modes - Lecture - Demonstration - Discussion - Hands-on / field work - Group work

Information Access Visuals and text Large print / sans serif font Printed versions of oral presentations Tactiles and models Information well organized Captioned audio and video

Interaction Open-ended questions Multiple choice questions Teams and partners Name tags / address by name Communication aids

Feedback Prompting Verbal and physical cues and clues Demonstrations Hand over hand assistance

Demonstration of knowledge Writing assists - word banks - text and picture labels Alternatives to writing tasks - drawings; models - Biocrafts

UID and Accessibility Accommodations and modifications, to extent possible, built in from beginning; everyone benefits Does not eliminate the need for specific accommodations for individuals with disabilities

Pyramid of Accessibility

Program Content FundamentalStandardEnhanced Science Content Meadowlands Content Science Tools Documentation Program Design Program Accessibility

Active Participation What programs in your setting might be re-designed using UID? How might teaching strategies, accommodations, assistive technologies, adapted science tools be applied to your programs to make them more accesible?
