Strategic approaches
• Teaching styles and preferences are valid but learner entitlements are legally protected.
• Staff training on disability issues should focus on core business not fuzzy feelings.
• Accessibility does not belong to support specialists any more than inclusion belongs to disabled people.
• E-learning is not the solution but it provides a wide suite of solutions.
