"From Where I Sit" Videos

 

About This Series

Created by Jean Wells, "From Where I Sit" is a powerful video series of eight CSU students with disabilities who share their experiences in the college classroom. They tell their stories by answering five questions:

  1. What is your disability?
  2. What made you decide to come to college?
  3. What is it like in the classroom?
  4. What do you have to do to keep up with the class?
  5. What suggestions can you offer to faculty that will make their classroom more accessible?

A unique aspect of this series is the inclusion of faculty responses. A panel of faculty members viewed each video and discussed the issues raised. Their comments are captured and made available in the Faculty Responses section that follows each student's story. Including faculty responses highlights the need for dialogue and for serious consideration of what is required to support both students and faculty in creating a more accessible and inclusive learning environment.
