The 2024 ASU Accessibility Awareness Day (AAAD) Conference <https://accessibility.asu.edu/aaad> is being held on November 7th - just a few days away! There is still time to register!
This year's theme centers on fostering a more inclusive and accessible learning environment for all. Join us either in-person at the Tempe campus (Memorial Union) or remotely via Zoom.
Hello Accessibility Friends! ASU Accessibility Awareness Day<https://accessibility.asu.edu/aaad> is less than 2 months away!

During our UDAT meeting several of you requested information on our peer mentoring program to share with faculty. Our mentors receive regular training and support throughout their time working with our students. Below is information you may share in your colleges/departments. The FAQs below shed more light on the program.
In case you are not on the calendar invitation I want to let you know that the UDAT meeting scheduled for Nov. 3rd has been cancelled. Due to the inevitability that we would one day overbook at the same time this meeting has both chairs and several project leads unable to attend. Plan to attend our next meeting on Dec. 1st.
The August and September meetings of the ASU A11y Guild<https://accessibility.asu.edu/guild> have been canceled due to a few conflicts.Hope to see everyone at the October 10th meeting!

I’m not at all familiar with the platform. I know ways to do this, but it would involve an extra (web)camera and a piece of (free) software that’s not exactly automatic or intuitive for a non-techie to use. Happy to schedule a time to discuss it or even setup a demo. It is not exactly a substantially equal solution.
Thank you Professor Puruhito, The student has been in communication with the professor to advocate for themselves, too.

Join us for a glimpse into the future of accessible technology. As technology evolves beyond the web to artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and mixed reality, voice will become the natural and most intuitive way to interact with the digital world.

This is one aspect of what my team does. Alternative format as an accommodation service area through SAILS, provides students with print-related disabilities accommodation by direct request under the Chafee Amendment – (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.loc.gov/nls/about/organization/laws-regulations/copyright-law-amendment-1996-pl-104-197/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!MhSQeBgC8e9frBR1RB6OQnx06XmBAGaHlbzpKG2BgjhRSBIqifhAewz4JJzUX0s$ )
It is important to be aware that the process for this accommodation can vary by publisher and title – not everything has to be manually converted. We have a number of accessible text partners which include; Access Text Network (helps facilitate publisher requests for academic based partner publishers – PDF and EPUB fulfillments), Bookshare (https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.bookshare.org__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!MhSQeBgC8e9frBR1RB6OQnx06XmBAGaHlbzpKG2BgjhRSBIqifhAewz4uQSTS2k$ accessible e-books, Learning Ally – (https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.learningally.org__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!MhSQeBgC8e9frBR1RB6OQnx06XmBAGaHlbzpKG2BgjhRSBIqifhAewz44qscuec$ [More ...]

Hi, everyone! The group asked for additional icons for our logo, in particular, we wanted to see some images related to “unlocking access.”
Before I ask the designer for a new icon, I cobbled together three possibilities (warning: they are very rough samples). Would everyone please vote on their favorite? Here’s the link to the poll - https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Z55L6FZ
