Re-Imagine and Re-Design: Disability Access in the Classroom

This event is part of the 2026 Celebrate Learning Week, taking place from May 4 – 8, 2026.

Thank you for your interest in the UBCO STREAM Event, Re-Imagine and Re-Design: Disability Access in the Classroom.

We will offer reflective frameworks to provide participants with the atmosphere to begin the work of re-imagining the classroom for disabled students. To do this, we will challenge assumptions and norms of a ‘typical’ classroom and, by way of example, identify practical ways to design your classroom with disability accessibility in mind.

This is a UBCO STREAM (Science, Technology, Research, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) Event. STREAM is a multi-pronged initiative, aiming to enhance the appreciation of impactful equity-based and historically, persistently, and systemically marginalized (HPSM)-produced scholarly work at UBCO and beyond. STREAM’s overarching philosophy is to demonstrate to students, staff, and faculty that there is much to learn from marginalised voices in scholarly research.

Facilitators:

• Zoë Bigwood is an Accessibility Advisor at the Disability Resource Centre with a Master of Occupational Therapy.
• Jason Taylor (PhD) is an Accessibility Advisor at the Disability Resource Centre. He identifies as a person with a disability and as disabled.

May 4 | 10:30-11:30 am | In-person: UBCO
