Recommendations to New York State for strategies to increase access

6. Regional Coordination and Partnerships (continued)

  • Such collaboratives share information, costs and equipment in order to ensure broadest possible access to assistive technology.

  • The New York State Education Department makes available, throughout the New York education system, a full range of information on programs and coursework, including information related to universal design and access in areas from curriculum to campus facilities.

Outcome

The number of secondary and postsecondary education institutions that report a specific regional resource or partnership to which they can turn for technical advice and assistance on working with and teaching students with disabilities will increase over the next five years.
