New Online Course Available from NSIP: Effective Communication, Alternative Formats, and Web Access

The National Service Inclusion Project (NSIP) is a Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) training and technical assistance provider that develops the capacity of all CNCS grantees to recruit, support, and retain members and volunteers with disabilities in all national service and volunteer programs.

 

Have you ever received a question on how to make your materials more accessible?  Has someone in service requested a reasonable accommodation for his or her communication needs?  To best ensure that people with disabilities are able to access equally all program communication materials and web content, the National Service Inclusion Project has created three courses to identify inclusive practices.

 

The National Service Inclusion Project (NSIP) presents three courses entitled: Effective Communication, Alternative Formats, and Web Accessibility to increase awareness of accessibility issues in programs.  These courses discuss Universal Design in communication, auxiliary aids and guidelines, communication and the law, as well as information on accessing web content for people with disabilities.  In addition to course content, users will be able to review case studies, web accessibility, and locate additional information for making communication accessible for all service members and volunteers. 

 

The National Service Inclusion Project (NSIP) is training and technical assistance provider on disability inclusion, under a cooperative agreement (#08TAHMA001) from Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). NSIP partners with the Association on University Centers on Disability, National Council on Independent Living, Association on Higher Education and Disability and National Down Syndrome Congress to build connections between disability organizations and all CNCS grantees, including national directs, to increase the participation of people with disabilities in national service.  This tutorial course was created cooperatively by The National Service Inclusion Project, The Corporation for National and Community Service, and ETR Associates.
