By Eric D. Lehman<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every July, 越南直播 joins organizations across America to recognize Disability Pride Month. This month celebrates all disabilities, including physical, intellectual, psychiatric, sensory, and neurodiversity \u2013 honoring the diverse experiences and accomplishments of disabled individuals. It also provides an important opportunity to reflect on the challenges disabled people face, and how best to change to create a more equitable world for all.<\/p>\n

Removing Barriers at UB<\/h2>\n

Maureen Fox, the Manager of Student Accessibility Services at UB, notes that institutions like 越南直播 are responsible for establishing inclusive learning environments. “If a student decides to go to college, it is the school\u2019s duty to remove any barriers to access to their education, and any programs or activities offered by the school,\u201d Fox says. \u201cOur job is to treat everyone equitably; to give them what they need to get access to college and college life and all that it offers.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to managing Student Accessibility Services, Fox teaches School and Constitutional Law for teachers who are training for their administrator\u2019s certification in UB\u2019s EdD program.<\/a> When she was in law school at the University of Connecticut, she had an opportunity to take a year-long class that offered a legal internship in disability law. One client was intellectually disabled, and her children were being taken away from her. \u201cIt started a fire in me,\u201d says Fox. \u201cThis mother loved those children so much; most kids would be lucky to be loved that much. Taking them away because she was labeled in this way was wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supporting Student Accessibility<\/h2>\n

Fox arrived on the job at UB in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, which, among other disastrous effects, damaged disability resources, accommodations, and accessibilities across the United States. For many primary and secondary schools, it was difficult to deliver special education services or accommodations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to rebuild and reeducate,\u201d says Fox. \u201cI started by sending letters to department chairs and going to faculty meetings. I gave refresher courses about what accommodation resources are and why we use them. I went to orientations with students, Student Support Services workshops, and First Year Seminar classes. I networked to let people all over the campus know who I am and what my office does.\u201d Fox and her team also put together an interactive video that gets sent to all incoming first-year and transfer students, which includes an overview of the law, the process, and an FAQ. In addition, the team created a section for Accessibility Services on the portal and once a month post a Q&A for faculty both online and in-person.<\/p>\n

These efforts are vital to the health of the individual students and the university. \u201cWe have more students with disabilities than ever,\u201d says Fox, who continued, \u201cand many more than ever come to me to get accommodations.\u201d However, some students are reluctant to visit the office for a variety of reasons, many of which are preventable through education and outreach. \u201cMaybe because they are adults, they think they have outgrown it,\u201d she posits. \u201cMaybe they are tired of being labeled and are in a new place and want to make a new start.\u201d Sometimes these students arrive in her office later in the semester or in their career because they find they need help after all, and Fox is always ready to offer support.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach accommodation is determined on an individual basis,\u201d Fox says firmly. \u201cWe talk it out together.\u201d Some of these accommodations may include academic adjustments, assistive technology, auxiliary aids, or modified housing. All are designed to reduce or eliminate any barriers to courses, programs, or activities at the University.<\/p>\n

Improving Accommodations in the Bridgeport Community<\/h2>\n

UB doesn\u2019t just support the students, but the employees as well. \u201cThe university strives for an all-inclusive workplace, and one of those initiatives addresses employees with disabilities,\u201d says Cheryl Nyarady, Director of Human Resources. \u201cAs an institution, we will provide reasonable accommodations in appropriate circumstances. That means if employees require reasonable accommodations or want to discuss what this means, they should talk to me or my team. It also means that if you see something on campus that might need our attention, say something to our facilities department about addressing it.\u201d Working with Nyarady and others throughout the university, Fox hopes to expand the Student Accessibility Services office and its mission. \u201cOne change I would like to see is having a testing center with a testing coordinator, to offer the students more options for testing times,\u201d she says. \u201cI would also love more programming to increase the visibility of accessibility services and of the diversity that our students have, which necessarily includes diversity of ability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Making a Difference with Accessibility Services<\/h2>\n

Nevertheless, her work is making an impact already. One student writes, \u201cI was given extra time today in the exam and that helped me a lot\u2026Thank you for all you do to help students.\u201d The parent of another student adds, \u201cThere are not enough words to describe how thankful our family is for the amount of care, time, and effort they gave us, along with the thousands of other students at UB.\u201d
\n\u201cStudents with disabilities just need an opportunity to level the playing field, along with a caring person like Maureen Fox to help them succeed at the university,\u201d says Craig Lennon, Dean of Students. \u201cAccessibility services and Ms. Fox have made all the difference for our students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Embracing Disability Pride at 越南直播<\/h2>\n

Disability Pride Month presents an opportunity to embrace disabilities as integral parts of the human condition and to reflect on the advances that have been made in the last few decades to help people who need accessibility assistance. It is also an opportunity for the voices of all disabled people to be heard. At 越南直播, we are listening.<\/p>\n
