In this episode of ‘Be Well at USASK’, Peter talks to Chloe Corcoran, Student Advisor in Assistive Technology with Access and Equity Services at the University. They discuss the supports available to students registered with AES as well as questions of accessibility and equity in post-secondary education; potential barriers to students registering for support; what accommodations look like in a virtual learning environment; and how technology can assist learning and connection at this time.

Access and Equity Services (AES) is guided by Saskatchewan's Human Rights legislation and the duty to accommodate individuals requiring accommodations based on disability, religion, family status, and gender identity.
