Speaker: Jennifer Rowlands, BS, Instructional Designer III
Topic: Universal Design for Content Sharing
1 CE AHIMA/AAPC
About the presentation at 4:30 PM:
The National Cancer Institute estimates that 20% of the world’s population has a neurodiversity, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or dyslexia. However, most corporate training isn’t prepared to reach these learners, nor are typical meetings or communications. What if there were simple solutions we could begin implementing today? In this session, we’ll identify the invisible and removable barriers between an audience and the content shared with them. We will look at how to apply universal design concepts to make content accessible for an audience with a range of cognitive abilities.
About the speaker:
Jennifer Rowlands is an instructional designer with ten-years of experience in corporate learning and development. She is also the parent of a child with a neurodevelopmental disorder who sparked her passion for making the world of adult learning more accessible to people with neurological differences. Jennifer has identified simple steps we can take toward expanding the idea of accessibility into universal design in learning and other areas of corporate life, such as meetings and emails.
A meal and beverages will be provided.
We are hoping for a sunny day so we can get outside and play some games too!! Let’s get together and connect!!
