Presented in the UAB Center for Teaching and Learning for UAB faculty by Samantha Wadsworth.

Workshops in the CTL Accessibility series by Disability Support Services provide the fundamentals of promoting a learning environment that welcomes and anticipates the needs of students with disabilities. This introductory workshop in the series explores accessibility guidelines and rationales, UAB trends and retention, Universal Design for Learning principles, and the benefits to the university community when inclusion is prioritized.

Are you curious about the workshops offered by the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL)? This workshop is a part of our one day of exploration and engagement in five different workshops. By the end of the day, you will not only experience a diverse range of what the CTL has to offer but also complete five workshops, putting you over halfway towards earning a Gold Certificate.
