Towards Inclusive Accessibility in Libraries (TIAL)

Taking Action with Accessibility with Dr. Clayton Copeland

Wednesday, February 5 | 10-11:30 am

Register for Taking Action with Accessibility<https://cslib.libcal.com/event/13360573>

This session will focus on low-cost, no-cost accessibility solutions. Topics will include communication, programming, services, and marketing. Participants will be introduced to strategies for actively seeking lived experiences, offering outreach and developing practices (including programs and services) that integrate principles for universal design and Universal Design for Learning. Such practices will be responsive to identified community needs, including for example, the power and importance of language.

Online resources will be provided and there will be opportunities for Q&A and discussion.

**If you would like to submit a question anonymously before or during the TIAL workshop, please submit them using the TIAL Questionnaire<https://ctstatelibrary.libwizard.com/f/TIAL_questionnaire>.
