ASK STUDENTS ABOUT THEIR ACCESS NEEDS |
Everyone has access needs—things they need to fully participate in our community. Access needs can be physical, like ramps and elevators, but can also include things like dimmed lighting, a camera-off Zoom meeting, fragrance-free spaces and more. Asking students proactively about their access needs can help everyone feel more included on SFU’s campuses and in your classrooms. |
