Accessibility in Action: Turning the What, Why, & How of Accessibility into Practice
Part of our UDL-Con: Live Online conference (full registration not required), this 3-hour preconference workshop on July 20, 2026 breaks down the essentials of accessible educational materials and assistive/accessible technology and shows how they work together with Universal Design for Learning (UDL).
Through guided discussion, examples, and practical application, participants will build a clearer understanding of how accessibility supports learner variability and strengthens everyday instruction. Walk away with actionable ideas and strategies for designing learning that works for all learners from the start.
This preconference session also includes free registration for the CAST UDL Credential Level 1: Mindset.
The Self-Directed Introduction to Designing for Accessibility allows educators to study at their own pace over the summer. This is a great way for a grade-level team or a school to complete their professional development independently and discuss what they’ve learned after returning for the new year.
The course is hosted on the Canvas learning platform and includes modules covering Accessibility, Assistive Technology, and Accessible Educational Materials.
Each module takes about two weeks to complete and includes a mix of readings, multimedia, and activities. The coursework is the equivalent of 24 contact hours.
Enrollment can begin at any time after purchase. Upon activating their enrollment, educators will have six weeks of access to complete the course.
Ideal for groups of 20+ educators who want access to guided support, the six-week Instructor-Led Introduction to Designing for Accessibility course includes two remote group sessions with a live expert facilitator and access to office hours for one-on-one support with them.
Hosted in the Canvas learning platform, this course includes three live sessions with CAST facilitators, and content modules covering Accessibility, Assistive Technology, and Accessible Educational Materials.
Each of the three modules will take about two weeks to complete and includes a mix of readings, multimedia, activities, and graded assignments. This coursework is the equivalent of 24 contact hours.
Book now and choose the enrollment window that works best for you. We can customize the course timeline, office hours, and live session dates to fit your team’s schedule and professional development needs.
Bring CAST’s accessibility expertise directly to your school or district with our engaging in-person professional learning and development. During each dynamic workshop session, an expert facilitator from CAST will guide up to 30 educators for over six hours as they collaborate with their colleagues to acquire practical, immediately applicable strategies.
