This had good information and ideas, and I liked the sample sheet for planning for accommodations for specific needs. However, this all seemed geared toward individual accommodations rather than overall accessibility - even the "universal design" section only recommended having a single adjustable desk. While addressing individual needs is important, it relies on the person with any type of impairment to seek out accommodations and have to take on advocating for themselves, which is extra work.

There were some useful aspects to this tool. The Student Abilities Profile worksheet is very helpful. Overall, difficult to ascertain how this pertained to math and science education beyond an allusion to lab space height. I would like to see more examples and more discussion about how math and science education might be inaccessible and how to remedy some of these issues. I will be looking more closely at some of the referenced tools from DO-IT to see if there are more other helpful tools available.

"...Even though I was flunking English because I couldn't spell; in my high school year book under ambitions I had written 'Author'. When I went off to college I ran into a guy at the University of Oregon named Ralph Salisbury who was my first creative writing instructor and he turned all the lights on for me. He was the first teacher in all my years who actually said I had talent. Some people don't know this, but I have dyslexia."
