Coronavirus Resources

Just as Coronavirus/COVID-19 has dominated most aspects of our lives in the last few weeks, it has had a major impact on higher education, pushing us to pursue equity for disabled students in new ways. From supporting the transition to online education to providing resources to ensure that required accommodations are in place, the AHEAD community has come together to support each other in unprecedented ways. We thank you all! 

In the interest of supporting equity for disabled students beyond AHEAD’s membership, AHEAD is pleased to share the following resources:

• Maintaining Access to Opportunity In the Face of the Coronavirus Crisis (Word Doc Download): A diverse compilation of ideas and resources from a wide variety of disability resource professionals.
• Designing an Accessible Online Course: A toolkit to assist campuses across the country who are moving online virtually overnight in response to COVID-19.

• U.S. Department of Education- COVID-19 Resources:

  • Fact sheet for protecting students' civil rights during COVID-19 response
