This eLesson by Dr. Felix Yerace will provide students with an opportunity to learn about the text of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment as well as its historical usage and potential need. It will ask them to consider why such an Amendment was deemed necessary and how it has been, and could be, used. It will also give students the opportunity to debate possible applications of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment.

This activity focuses on getting the students to think about disabilities and how they can make some aspects of life more difficult. The students are asked to pick a disability and design a new kind of sport for it.

These materials are intended to be used both in graduate courses related to copyright or accessibility and by practitioners interested in learning more on the topic. Topics covered include the Chafee Amendment and how it has changed post-Marrakesh Treaty, the role of accessibility in the Authors Guild, Inc. v. HathiTrust decision, the importance of the Marrakesh Treaty for international efforts to make materials accessible across borders, and how licensing provisions can impact these various rights. The resources include videos explaining the key points of each topic, along with editable slide decks for those who wish to build on the existing materials, activities and options for assignments, recommended pre-class readings, discussion prompts, and related resources for those who want to learn more on the topics introduced in this OER module. There are also teaching notes for those interested in using the module in a class they are teaching.

Students design and develop a useful assistive device for people challenged by fine motor skill development who cannot grasp and control objects. In the process of designing prototype devices, they learn about the engineering design process and how to use it to solve problems. After an introduction about the effects of disabilities and the importance of hand and finger dexterity, student pairs research, brainstorm, plan, budget, compare, select, prototype, test, evaluate and modify their design ideas to create devices that enable a student to hold and use a small paintbrush or crayon. The design challenge includes clearly identified criteria and constraints, to which teams rate their competing design solutions. Prototype testing includes independent evaluations by three classmates, after which students redesign to make improvements. To conclude, teams make one-slide presentations to the class to recap their design projects. This activity incorporates a 3D modeling and 3D printing component as students generate prototypes of their designs. However, if no 3D printer is available, the project can be modified to use traditional and/or simpler fabrication processes and basic materials.

This course illuminates current theories about autism together with challenges faced by people on the autism spectrum. Theories in communicating, interacting socially, managing cognitive and affective overload, and achieving independent lifestyles are covered. In parallel, the course presents state-of-the-art technologies being developed for helping improve both theoretical understanding and practical outcomes. Participants are expected to meet and interact with people on the autism spectrum. Weekly reading, discussion, and a term project are required.

Inklusion zielt auf das Ermöglichen von Bildungsgerechtigkeit und bedeutet Barrieren der Teilhabe abzubauen und Vielfalt wertzuschätzen. Die hier zur Verfügung gestellte Auflistung bietet in dem Zusammenhang einen Überblick über bestehende Materialien zur Thematik für die Anregung einer inklusiven Pädagogik in Kindertageseinrichtungen.

Survey of speech, language, and communication disorders for educators. Consideration of varied disorders that might be encountered in educational settings; application to children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

This course is an overview of speech, language, and hearing disorders. It will investigate the impact of communication on children with developmental disabilities and enable non-specialists to work effectively with this population. Throughout this course, we will consider a range of problems (i.e. neurological and physiological disabilities), as well as applications to children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

The primary advantage of inclusive digital document is its ability to be comprehended by individuals who experience challenges with conventional printed materials. Such a document can be interpreted through different means like enlarged text, audio playback, or braille representation. These various formats can be accessed using devices such as smartphones, computers, MP3 players, DAISY players, or refreshable braille displays. Additionally, an accessible digital document can be transformed into a format that is suitable for variety of reading devices.

Le principal avantage d'un document numérique inclusif est sa capacité à être compris par les personnes qui rencontrent des difficultés avec les documents imprimés traditionnels. Un tel document peut être interprété par différents moyens tels que le texte agrandi, la lecture audio ou la représentation en braille. Ces différents formats sont accessibles à l'aide d'appareils tels que les smartphones, les ordinateurs, les lecteurs MP3, les lecteurs DAISY ou les afficheurs braille actualisables. En outre, un document numérique accessible peut être transformé en un format adapté à divers appareils de lecture.

En tant qu'éducateurs, il est impératif de veiller à ce que tous les élèves aient des chances égales de démontrer leurs connaissances et leurs compétences, y compris ceux qui ont des déficiences visuelles telles que la cécité et la basse vision. La création d'examens et de devoirs accessibles est essentielle pour aider ces étudiants à mettre en valeur efficacement leurs capacités. Pour aider ces élèves à naviguer dans les évaluations, vous trouverez ci-dessous quelques conseils à l'intention des enseignants.

Students are given a biomedical engineering challenge, which they solve while following the steps of the engineering design process. In a design lab environment, student groups design, create and test prototype devices that help people using crutches carry things, such as books and school supplies. The assistive devices must meet a list of constraints, including a device weight limit and minimum load capacity. Students use various hand and power tools to fabricate the devices. They test the practicality of their designs by loading them with objects and then using the modified crutches in the school hallways and classrooms.
