Notable Quotes from Students’ Stories

During The UDL Project: Phase 2, one of the questions we asked students in our Sharing Circles and Online Survey was:

What does “Accessibility” mean for you in your life?

Here are some of the responses we received to that question. They are worth reflecting on. How would you finish a sentence that begins with “Accessibility means…”

Accessibility means

  • Creating the space where students can achieve fullest potential.
  • Not feeling self-conscious about how I need to access information.
  • Being on the same playing field as other students who don’t have a disability.
  • Being able to access the college as a whole; the services also affect your college experience and ability to succeed.
  • All people have the same opportunity to show their contribution to society.
  • Course availability and no financial barriers; and knowing that resources are available to assist you when you need it.
  • Feeling like this place is for me, was designed for me too.
