Like every semester we are teaming up with ARC for a hands-on session focused on practical accessibility tools that make studying and test-taking more manageable. ARC staff will demo and distribute gadgets that support focus, comfort, and sensory regulation — including accessible keyboards, fidgets, noise-reducing headphones, and more.

We’ll also talk about:

How to identify which tools match your specific learning needs.
Ways to incorporate assistive devices into everyday studying.
How to request these supports through accommodations or ARC lending programs

If you attended this meeting last semester ---- different gadgets will be distributed than last time ---- so don't miss out!!
