Some Context Started my position in September 2003 First time a dedicated position allocated to
Disability Services Although I had worked on campus for 6 years,
I didn’t know much about services Learned a great deal in my first year on the
job Recognized that faculty and staff didn’t really
know much about working with students with disabilities!

Baby Steps Decided to prepare a training series and offer
on a quarterly basis Visited division meetings to encourage
attendance among faculty Talked with Division Chairs/Associate Dean of
Academics to explain purpose of event The first session was held in October 2004.
There were 10 participants in attendance. Topic addressed the “basics of the ADA” on
campus Lunch provided to all participants (if you feed
them, they will come)

Perceptions are Critical! Events are called “Disability Information
Sessions” Careful to stay away from “training” in the
title as faculty don’t feel they need to be “trained”
Asked key faculty to spread the word among colleagues

The Guest List Entire campus community is invited (full-
time/part-time faculty and full-time/part-time staff)
Some grant/contract employees also attend In the early days, paper invitations were sent
to all employees To be more green, email communication is
now used with an initial invitation and reminder invitation sent

Presentation Specifics Most sessions are created and presented by
the Director of Disability Services Lots of great web resources available Remember – you are the expert in this area!
It is okay if you don’t have all the answers. Use your resources.
Sessions restricted to faculty and staff only to create a safe dialogue for information exchange. Remind participants to keep all comments in the room.

Other Training Opportunities Provide training when requested to student
workers, academic advisors, academic units, student orientation leaders, etc.
This is a great opportunity to showcase your office
Look for University/college-wide conferences, workshops, retreats and submit a session proposal
