We hope you are staying safe and sane during this time of social distancing.
Please know that the NABS board is here for you, if you need an ear or
simply some human interaction. Additionally, if you are facing accessibility
challenges with remote education, we invite you to fill out our
Inaccessibility in Online Education Support Form
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeXoK5sWCpBjvAu4EMOANUufEoJPyUlu4Q

leadership. We intend to respond to all requests within 48 hours of filling
out the form. 

 

As promised, I am writing today to share additional resources that we hope
you will utilize to make the most of your online education. We are very
excited to launch our Online Accessibility Resources for COVID-19
<http://nabslink.org/content/online-accessibility-resources-covid-19>  page
on our website, which will continue to be updated with the latest tools for
your success. A special shoutout is in order for our NABS Legislative and
Self-Advocacy Committee members who have created guides to common online
platforms, such as Zoom, Canvas, and Blackboard, which can all be accessed
from the resources page. You can either follow this link

visit nabslink.org and click on the last menu item entitled Online
Accessibility Resources for COVID-19.
