accessibility / ækˌsɛs əˈbɪl ə ti /
noun1. having programs, services and environments that allow all individuals to participate fully in society without encountering barriers
The district is continuing its four-part animated series on accessibility, highlighting and defining the keyword of accessibility and what that truly means, to persons with and without disabilities.
Created by the Surrey Schools accessibility working group and advisory committee, the four videos are intended to create a common understanding of the terms disability, barriers, accessibility and inclusion in school communities across Surrey and White Rock. The third video shows what accessibility looks like for persons with disabilities, namely: being provided the same opportunities as someone without a disability; interacting with others, accessing information and enjoying services; and
being treated equally and not encountering barriers that make participating in everyday activities difficult.
“Where our last video helped to explain and define what a barrier is, we hope this video helps to build a greater understanding of how removing those barriers can create a more accessible school, school district and community,” said Colin Reid, District Principal with Student Support. “We once again tried to share a broad range of disabilities and the wide variety of barriers that can be removed to create greater accessibility.”
