The webinar will bring together four leaders who will share promising
practices in their sustained projects that help make STEM fields more
welcoming and accessible to students with disabilities.

An ASL interpreter and closed captioning will be provided for this event.

Panelists Include:
Sheryl Burgstahler is the director of Accessible Technology Services and
the DO-IT Center (where DO-IT stands for Disabilities, Opportunities,
Internetworking and Technology). She is also Co-PI of the NSF-funded
AccessComputing project led by the University of Washington to increase the
participation and success of individuals with disabilities in computing
academic programs and careers.

Jeanne Reis is Co-Director of the ASL Ed Center. For over 20 years, Jeanne
has explored the many ways the Deaf Community supports and engages deaf
learners of all ages, particularly preK-12 students impacted by delayed
first language acquisition due to lack of early language input. Since 2005,
Jeanne has led the design and development of ASL Clear, a STEM learning app
centered in American Sign Language (ASL) linguistic principles, working in
close collaboration with Deaf STEM subject matter experts.

Emily Moore is Director of Research & Accessibility for PhET Interactive
Simulations (http://phet.colorado.edu), in the Department of Physics at the
University of Colorado Boulder. Dr. Moore leads efforts to increase
inclusion of learners with disabilities in STEM through inclusively
designed interactives, which includes the design, implementation, and study
of accessible auditory, visual, and haptic displays, and alternative input
to support access to simulations by learners with sensory, mobility, or
cognitive disabilities.
