The Accessible Learning Services (ALS) team is dedicated to ensuring that all students and apprentices have an equal opportunity to succeed in their educational pursuits. We collaborate with faculty and college stakeholders to implement strategies and provide academic accommodations and support.
Our Team
Our teams consist of Accessibility Counsellors, Learning Strategists, Assistive Technologists, Service Advisors, Intake Coordinators, Office Assistants and a variety of support roles.
Accessibility Counsellors (AC)
Our AC's hold professional degrees in Counselling and Accessibility-related fields and balance their theoretical background with extensive practical experience and members of professional colleges which are governed by the Regulated Health Care Professionals Act (RHPA). Accessibility Counsellors work with students to identify individual accommodation needs so that students can more fully participate in their academic studies. Once a student engages ALS they are paired with an Accessibility Counsellor.
Accessibility Counsellors collaborate with the student to navigate and support them though their academic journey.
