With campus re-opening ramping up for Fall 2020 comes particular questions around听how to ensure an accessible experience听for students, colleagues and community members with disabilities. These resources take the principles of accessible service delivery, as seen through the lens of COVID-19, to equip staff and instructors with the skills they need to ensure a safe and accessible Fall semester.

Workshop description and goals: This workshop provides tips and best practices for working with clients with disabilities in the era of COVID-19.
