The Office of Disability Resources offers staff and faculty training on the the first Tuesday and third Thursday of every month. Descriptions of the trainings are below. If you are interested in a training, but unable to attend at the offered times, please reach out to Kristen Tully to schedule a time that works best for you.

Digital Natives: When someone is exposed to technology from a young age, they are known as a Digital Native. This generation is noted for having a certain knack for gadgets and computers. They like information to be fast, clear, and easy. So what happens at a University that appreciates slowness? What if the professor isn’t so comfortable with computers but has to work with them? How do we take these old ideas, and present them to these new thinkers?

It’s easier than you may think! Join Neal Sorensen, from the Office of Disability Resources, to explore how to make classes work for all types of learners. We will discuss how to make reading material ADA compliant, what software is best for writing without distraction, and how to turn a mind-map into an organized outline.

Please bring your gadgets! Laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc. Technology is welcome here! Follow this link to schedule your training. 

Disability Resources Training: Kristen Tully, Disability Resources Coordinator, will present on rights and responsibilities for students, staff, and faculty as they relate to disability law. In this interactive presentation, faculty and staff are encouraged to come with questions, concerns, and suggestions. The Disability Resources Training is offered on the first Tuesday of every month, by appointment. Click here to sign up for a training.
