Legislation and policy are shaping the development of all facets of Irish education. Underlining many of these developments are issues embedded in inclusive practice and rights-based approaches to education. This presentation discusses the implications of these approaches with an emphasis on the impact for higher education. Furthermore, the presentation explores accessible practice and current trends around creating accessible educational material as part of an overarching Universal Design for Learning (UDL) approach in one higher education institution in Ireland. The presentation additionally focuses on an accessibility practitioner’s involvement in the development of a Community of Practice (CoP) on campus that would influence and drive more inclusive educational practice. The presentation also discusses the close relationship between UDL, accessibility and technology and the impact that can have on higher education institutions. The presentation concludes with practical tips on developing accessible practice and discuss the inherent benefits of utilizing communities of practice.
