@AgilistaAG @OLCToday Missing my babies, but I know they’re (not so) patiently waiting for me to get back 🐾🐾❤️

[Kaitlin Garrett @KaitlinRSchultz]

@Higher_EdQueen @OLCToday Wow that was fast! Good job 👏🏼 I’ll be sure to meet up with you before the conference is over for your prize 🎉

[Kaitlin Garrett @KaitlinRSchultz]

Equality is ensuring everyone the exact same resources, while equity distributes resources based on the different needs of recipients. 1 size does NOT fit all. How can you incorporate this into your course design by providing more flexible & inclusive options for students? #a11y

[Kaitlin Garrett @KaitlinRSchultz]

It’s essential to design not just for the average user, but for all users, including those with permanent or situational impairments. Good UX is all about making technology user-friendly and accessible.

Good article in @USATODAY. Language matters. Disability is a part of being human. Say the word and say it with confidence.

I’m not special, or diversely, differently abled.

I’m deaf, disabled and proud.

ACCESS ≠ EQUITY. Great post on the importance of reopening with #equity: “As campuses prepare for the return to in-person learning, improving systems so that each student can fulfill their potential should be top of mind.” #accessibility #a11y #HigherEd
