New and Updated Resources
Where AI Meets Accessibility Toolkit
We are thrilled to announce the official release of Where AI Meets Accessibility: Considerations for Higher Education!
Created in partnership with Every Learner Everywhere, this resource offers educators and administrators practical guidance, key insights, and curated tools to support inclusive and accessible use of AI in higher education. It’s designed to spark meaningful conversations and inform thoughtful adoption practices.
Why Learn & Why Teach Accessibility?
Last fall, we teamed up with an incredible group of volunteers to update our “Why Teach Accessibility?” fact sheet. Thanks to their energy and insights, the project grew and led to the creation of a second resource focused on why learning accessibility matters. They offer key talking points to help explain why accessibility is important and why it’s essential to teach and learn these skills.
Teach Access by Design: HETS Cohort
At the end of March, we kicked off a new cohort of Teach Access by Design in collaboration with Hispanic Educational Technology Services (HETS). This cohort brings together over 180 educators and administrators from Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) across the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
Over three months, participants will explore topics including disability, accessibility, and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) while gaining the tools and support needed to embed accessible design principles into their teaching and curricula.

Support Our Work
Many of you have asked, “How can I best support Teach Access and the work you’re doing to advance digital accessibility?”. The honest answer is this: the most effective and impactful way to help is through your generous financial support. Donations are crucial, especially in times like these, when funding opportunities are diminishing.
Your contributions allow us to continue developing free programs and resources that educate and empower students, educators, and industry professionals to design and build accessible technology for people with disabilities. Every dollar helps us grow our impact and drive lasting change across industries.
And if you aren’t in a position to give, you can support our work in other ways. Consider:
- Sharing your expertise and lived experience insights with our students and educators.
- Hosting an internal presentation about Teach Access.
- Providing skill-building workshops using Teach Access free resources.
