This interactive training equips faculty and staff with practical strategies to make physical and digital spaces more accessible for individuals of all abilities. Participants will explore common barriers in communication, digital content, signage, and the physical environment—and learn simple, effective ways to remove those barriers using universal design principles.

Through real-world examples, group activities, and self-reflection, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how small changes in layout, language, and design can create a more inclusive campus. Whether you work at a desk, run events, or maintain a website, this session will help you identify opportunities to “accessify” your space and better serve everyone.

Outcomes:

• Understand the importance of accessibility in creating an inclusive environment.

• Identify common barriers in office, event, and communication practices.

• Apply universal design principles to improve accessibility in everyday workspaces.

• Learn practical tips to make spaces, documents, and interactions more welcoming to all.
