Teach Access by Design

What is Teach Access by Design?

Teach Access by Design is a customized training program available for industry and education. The program combines asynchronous learning with live sessions to introduce participants to foundational concepts in disability, accessibility, and universal design. Participants are guided through a series of learning resources, activities, and discussions to understand how these concepts intersect with their disciplines and roles. 

Full Program (Option A)

The full program includes three modules with an estimated total time commitment of 30 hours, which includes reviewing course materials, participating in asynchronous discussions, completing knowledge checks and applied exercises, and attending four synchronous sessions.

The key distinction of this version of the program is the active engagement between facilitators and participants through both synchronous sessions and asynchronous activities. Participants have the opportunity to apply and discuss what they’ve learned, build community with peers, and receive feedback on their work.

“The Essentials” (Option B)

The Essentials version of the program offers a streamlined introduction to the core concepts from the three modules. This abridged format focuses primarily on reviewing curated resources and completing brief knowledge checks to reinforce learning. Unlike the full program, “The Essentials” does not include asynchronous discussions or applied activities. The only required activities are the knowledge checks, though participants are welcome to engage in discussion during the synchronous sessions.
