Beyond individual teaching practice, the physical or virtual space a session happens in shapes how accessible it actually is.
-
Step-free routes into and within buildings, with lifts in multi-storey buildings.
-
Doorways wide enough for wheelchair access, with hardware that can be operated with one hand and without tight grasping or twisting.
-
Clear floor space and turning room within classrooms, with accessible routes between furniture.
-
A proportion of desks and tables at an accessible height with adequate knee clearance.
-
Accessible toilets and storage or charging points for powered wheelchairs where needed.
-
Seating layouts that avoid isolating a wheelchair user at the very front or back of a room by design (for example, due to tiered seating).
