Hello,

At Macmillan Learning, we're launching a new research initiative focused on
how we can better support Disability Services Offices across higher
education. As more students register for accommodations, we understand that
the demand on your time, team, and resources continues to grow.

We would love to learn more about your experience: what is working, what is
challenging, and how we might help. If you are an access/accommodations
specialist or coach within a Disability Services Office, we would greatly
appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. I just had a fantastic
research session with an ATHEN board member, and I hope the next great
conversation will be with you!

What to Expect:

-

A 1-hour recorded interview via Zoom
-

A chance to share your insights, challenges, and needs
-

Camera use is encouraged if you are comfortable

If you're interested, please use the following Calendly link to select a
time that works for you:
https://calendly.com/d/cnc2-nbt-t7x/1-hour-research-session-disability-services
. Once you register, Calendly will automatically send you a meeting
invitation. If none of the available time slots work for you, please email
deanna.ferrante at macmillan.com with your availability over the next 2 weeks
(May 28-June 6).

For this first phase of research, we are looking to speak with five
professionals from diverse institutions across the U.S. If our slots fill
up, we will follow up to let you know.

Thank you for everything you do to support students with disabilities. We
are excited to learn from you and to help make education more inclusive.

Best,

Deanna Ferrante (she/her)
Executive Accessibility Project Manager
