The Accessible Design Guide was initially created by Faculty Librarian in Summer 2025. This collaborative resource contains input and recommendations from the Spokane Community College eLearning and Disability Access Services departments.
This guide contains is not intended to teach readers about accessibility and disabilities directly; instead, it serves as a hub connecting to links with tools that can be used and reading to learn about key concepts. It also includes a page with selected definitions of key terms connected to accessibility.
This guide is a living document and will be regularly updated with new information and links as accessibility practices evolve.
If you have any resources connected to accessibility or disabilities, in general or specific to higher education, please consider emailing Faculty Librarian Greg Bem. All recommendations will be considered.
