Accessibility Is Everyone’s Business

Accessibility Is Everyone's Business: What Higher Ed Should Prioritize Before Spring Compliance Deadlines
Webinar
Date: February 19, 2026
Time: 1:00 pm
Accessibility is no longer a course-level concern—it’s institutional infrastructure. As spring compliance deadlines approach, many institutions are realizing that accessibility risk isn’t showing up as formal complaints, but as operational strain: support burden, workarounds, data issues, inaccessible forms, and systems that quietly exclude students. In this webinar, Dr. Laura Romeo (Edge) explores how accessibility now intersects with operations, IT, communications, student services, and AI-driven workflows and why siloed approaches tend to break down under pressure. Rather than focusing on checklists or tools, the session offers a systems-level lens to help institutions identify where accessibility risk is already accumulating and what deserves attention in the next 60 days. The session is designed for leaders and teams who influence digital systems, content, policies, and student-facing workflows—and who are responsible for making accessibility sustainable rather than reactive.
