How to read this page ?

This page identifies common accessibility challenges in learning environments, and proposes practices to be implemented using Wooclap (in blue boxes).

• Part 1 focuses on the challenges experienced by most learners.
• Part 2 focuses on challenges that are intrinsic to specific disabilities.

Taken into consideration are temporary disabilities (ex: ear infection, brain fog) and situational disabilities (ex: sunlight directly on face, construction noise from outside).

Note: Disabilities are a spectrum. The support needs outlined for each profile are general guidelines; only certain points will be applicable to each unique learner.
