The term accommodation may be used to describe an alteration of environment, curriculum format, or equipment that allows an individual with a disability to gain access to content and/or complete assigned tasks. They allow students with disabilities to pursue a regular course of study.

We must ensure that what we teach, and in fact all of our communications, whether with students, alumni, sports fans, the general public, faculty and staff, are communicated to students and those with disabilities equally effectively as they're communicated with students and others without disabilities.

Accessibility (per THEC/TBR) means that individuals with disabilities are able to independently acquire the same information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services within the same time frame as individuals without disabilities, with substantially equivalent ease of use.

Accessibility is readily available to everyone.
