Introducing the Accessible Design Coordinator for the College of Arts & Sciences, Lori Hostetler

Simplifying accessibility & accommodations

As a former long-term faculty member, I understand the fine balance of accessible design, managing accommodations, maintaining disciplinary integrity, and sustainable teaching.  

Aren’t sure where to begin? I am here to listen, consult, and support you as you provide SDAC accommodations to students and accessible course design for all.   

If you are affiliated with the College of Arts & Sciences, send me a quick email to ask a question, or to set up a call, Zoom, or meeting. I offer departmental Q&A sessions as well.  

I can help with the following... 

Streamline Accommodations with the new Accommodations integration in Canvas 

Helpful hints for the SDAC accommodations conversations with your students and balancing accommodations implementation. 

Proactive Accessible Course Solutions 

• A newly launched A&S Canvas template for reducing students’ cognitive load and increasing their independence with your course materials 
• Helpful hints to support neurodiverse students 
•  Thought partnering for accessible assessments, class activities, and course design. 

Work toward Title II Digital Accessibility Requirements By April 2027 

Get started on creating accessible course materials including Word and PPTX files. Use UDOIT in Canvas to determine what/how to fix.
