While the video was created with college in mind, I think it has a wider audience than that.Any way another FYI from me.

Happy New Year!

Greetings and Happy New Year.

Dr. Steve Bigaj from the Monadnock Center for Successful Transitions in New Hampshire sent this information and link to a set of videos produced by CAL State University . It is a video series of eight college students with differing disabilities who share their experiences in getting and using accommodations. At the end of each video is a set of recommendations to faculty and educators in making accommodations to help students learn and acquire course work and information.

Feel free to pass this along to students, faculty and others.

CAL State University produced an amazing set of videos."From Where I Sit" is a powerful video series of eight CSU students with disabilities who share their experiences in the college classroom. They tell their stories by answering five questions: 1.What is your disability?2.What made you decide to come to college?3.What is it

like in the classroom?4.What do you have to do to keep up with the class?5.What suggestions can you offer to faculty that will make their classroom more accessible? A unique aspect of this series is the inclusion of faculty responses. A panel of faculty members viewed each video and discussed the issues raised. Their comments are captured and made available in the Faculty Responses section that follows each student's story. Including faculty responses highlights the need for dialogue and for serious consideration of what is required to support both students and faculty in creating a more

accessible and inclusive learning environment. Awesome for educating (some really tug at the heart). http://www.calstate.edu/accessibility/resources/videos.shtml Watch the From Where I Sit music video. (Link below). I have this on a DVD which I show to students, faculty, and staff. http://teachingcommons.cdl.edu/access/materials/videos/FWISMusicVideo.shtml HoelInterim Director-Center for Disability Services,RN, BS, ATACPCentralia College600 W Centralia College
