“…In addition, this study found a lack of research implementing largescale structures of accessibility, such as a system, Regents, or statewide structure in higher education. However, accessibility awareness may be expanding to include field depth with several areas celebrating successes (Azzopardi et al, 2014;Izzo & Bauer, 2015;Ladner, 2016) and self-identifying with the need to better address accessibility (Clouder et al, 2016;Neutens, 2015).…”

For many students, easy access to instructional materials is an expectation of course enrollment. However, for students with disabilities, obtaining instructional materials may involve hurdles such as transcription, captioning, and requesting a braille or large-print version. In order to explore themes related to accessibility and services for students with disabilities, the goal of this study was to examine the similarities and differences between publicly communicated policies related to accessible instructional materials in public post-secondary educational settings. To that end, this study consists of website-provided accessible instructional materials policy of 60 higher educational institutions, representing five American geographic areas and four institutional types in order to discover common themes in the presentation of findings. While high resource institutions presented the largest breadth of findings, duplication of purposes meant that some institutions with lower resource levels presented materials in a more comprehensive grouping manner. In addition, evidence exists that institutions are presenting an incomplete picture of accessibility requirements and despite the prevalence of resources, service regarding accessible instructional materials is uneven across institutional types and locations.

“…A deficiência é um termo geral com múltiplas interpretações (Clouder, Adefila, Jackson, Opie & Odedra, 2016). Definições de deficiência variam muito entre os estudos e são bastante diferentes mesmo dentro de subpopulações de pessoas com o mesmo tipo de deficiência (Jaeger, 2006;Rowland, Peterson-Besse, Dobbertin, Walsh & Horner-Johnson, 2014).…”

“…Assim, ambientes inacessíveis criam deficiência ao gerarem barreiras (físicas, sociais e comportamentais) à participação e inclusão. Isto é, o modelo CIF enxerga a deficiência como resultado da interação entre fatores de saúde e contextuais (Clouder et al, 2016). No Brasil, o Decreto Legislativo n. 186, de 2008, promulgou o texto da Convenção sobre os Direitos Humanos das Pessoas com Deficiência, trazendo, em seu Artigo 1, o conceito de deficiência estabelecido pela CIF.…”

Resumo: Para que pessoas com deficiência tenham garantido o seu direito de acesso à informação, é fundamental que premissas básicas de acessibilidade digital sejam implementadas em portais eletrônicos. Essa questão é ainda mais relevante quando relacionada a sites do governo. O presente trabalho verificou a adequação dos sítios eletrônicos das Instituições Federais de Educação do Brasil aos padrões de acessibilidade digital estabelecidos pelo Modelo de Acessibilidade em Governo Eletrônico (eMAG). Os resultados demonstram uma baixa observância aos referidos padrões, até mesmo dos elementos padronizados de acessibilidade que, por força de lei, deveriam ser implementados em todos os portais eletrônicos de governo no país. Isso evidencia que uma parcela significativa de cidadãos não tem respeitado, em igualdade de condições, seu direito de acesso à informação digital, justamente em ambientes acadêmicos e universitários -que deveriam promover a cidadania e oportunizar uma educação de qualidade para todos.

“…Students with disabilities and health care professionals who acquire a disability through accidents or aging face many challenges but also opportunities [9,10]. Promoting a culture of open communication, compassion, ADA compliance, safety in disclosure of physical and psychological limitations, and support is critical to the health of individual health professionals and patients [17].…”

“…In this article, we illuminate barriers to accommodations in the nursing profession and suggest how the culture of nursing can be made more inclusive of people with disabilities. To do so, we draw on a social model of disability that focuses attention on intentional or unconscious systemic barriers, negative attitudes, and prejudicial actions [2, 9,10].…”

The Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability and requires schools to provide reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities. The profession of nursing is striving for diversity and inclusion, but barriers still exist to realizing accommodations for people with disabilities. Promoting disclosure, a supportive and enabling environment, resilience, and realistic expectations are important considerations if we are to include among our ranks health professionals who can understand, based on similar life experiences of disability, a fuller range of perspectives of the patients we care for.
