Novel Cost Effective Support Program Launching Soon for Educators of Blind and Visually Impaired Students
Summary
Novus Access co-founder Mick Isaacson states that, “there are numerous initiatives for increasing the representation of students with disabilities in post-secondary studies and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).As these initiatives begin to reach their objectives, colleges and universities will increasingly be faced with issues concerning educational access of these students.With services being provided when needed, the program promises a financially viable alternative to previous approaches.“Far too often, teachers do not have a support network to fall back on.Once our program is available, we will be able to help support a stronger community of practice in the field of blindness and in the education of blind students,” said Novus Access co-founder Michelle Michaels.Novus Access co-founder Mick Isaacson states that, “there are numerous initiatives for increasing the representation of students with disabilities in post-secondary studies and careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).As these initiatives begin to reach their objectives, colleges and universities will increasingly be faced with issues concerning educational access of these students.
