Under the ADA LAW (Americans with Disability Act) students with disabilities must have access to education in an environment that meets their individual needs. For students with vision, hearing, or mobility impairments this often means working with a school's accessibility coordinator who is responsible for ensuring that all equipment or facilities needed are in place and functioning properly. Accessibility coordinators have to be flexible and wear many hats. The job is constantly evolving and changing, so it takes a lot of energy, dedication, and passion to do it well.
Let the Checklist for Accessibility Coordinators be your guide.
