Abstract

Teaching college students with disabilities can be a unique challenge, especially for faculty who have little or no experience working with students who are deaf or hard of hearing, blind, or have learning disabilities.   Through a collaborative effort between the Arkansas State Outreach and Technical Assistance Center and Project PACE, a series of three videos; Make a Difference:  Tips for Teaching Students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, Make a Difference:  Tips for Teaching Students who are Blind or have Low Vision, and Make a Difference:  Tips for Teaching Students who have Learning Disabilities; has been developed as a strategy for training faculty efficiently and effectively.  Video topics include information related to classroom setup, accommodations, technology, academics, communication, and specific teaching methods and strategies that other faculty have found successful.  Accompanying handbooks have been developed for two of the three videos and the third is currently under development.
