Roane State 社区 College

"Accessible" means fully and equally accessible to and independently usable by disabled individuals so they are able to acquire the same information, eng年龄 in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services within the same timeframe as individuals without disabilities, with substantially equivalent ease of use.

Roane State views accessibility as a holistic value that must be embedded in decision-making and processes across the college. To guide faculty and staff, the college’s accessibility plan includes the following four focus areas: establishing guidelines, providing consistent and relevant training, improving accessibility in a systematic fashion, and communicating accessibility policies and best practices.

Within each focus area, the plan includes a purpose, 目标, 优先级(高, 媒介, low) areas responsible for the 目标, and timeline for completion. Each focus area has only one high priority objective. The immediacy of the objective was a factor in determining its priority.

1. Focus area: Establishing Guidelines

Purpose: One challenge of accessibility is to go beyond defining it as a term but to also define how actions taken to improve accessibility should be measured. How will the college know it is progressing on the path to accessibility? 我们的目的是 provide guidelines and to regularly evaluate and update those guidelines as needed.

2. Focus area: Providing Consistent and Relevant Training

Purpose: In many cases, whether information and services are accessible depends not on software, but the actions of faculty and staff. 我们的目的是, as much as possible, ensure that lack of knowledge is not a barrier to accessibility at Roane State.
