Ideas
Display your willingness
to work with the statement by including a statement such as this:
If you have a disability
that prevents or hinders typical access of Internet material, please let me
know and I'll work with you to make the material accessible. I personally try
to code for accessibility but may link to websites which do not.
Or by asking on a first
day questionnaire:
If you are willing to
do so, please mention any special needs you have as a learner (e.g., visual
difficulty, learning disability).
