Special Universal Design & Accessibility in Curriculum Track
This year's conference will feature a special track on including content about UD and accessibility in university curriculum. Select the topic area "Including Accessibility In Curriculum" on the proposal form if you're interested in presenting this topic.
*If needed, a second round RFP will be announced shortly after the May 8 first-round deadline. Note: there is no guarantee that there will be a second round opportunity - last year there was not - and preference is given to 1st round proposals.
Covid-19 and the Accessing Higher Ground Conference
Since no one knows what the status of the pandemic and the ability of presenters to travel and speak at the conference will be in the fall, individuals will not be penalized for submitting a proposal and later declining to present at the conference onsite. We will be asking on the RFP if you would be willing to present remotely if the need arises to switch from an onsite to virtual event.
