Abstract
A Central Washington University student majoring in Accessibility studies along with Dr. Naomi Petersen introduced the ASP Club Initiative. The ASP Club for Accessibility minor and certificate students at CWU will be finalized in Spring Quarter 2020. This project’s objective is to support students with the planning of internships for service-learning, social online interaction to reduce feelings of isolation for online students, increase involvement and inclusivity for all students to be involved, social collaboration among students, and capstone project enhancement. Resources related to their coursework, community volunteer opportunities, and leadership positions will also be created for ASP club officers and members. The ASP Club will promote and increase the awareness of the Accessibilities program at CWU, ADA, accommodations for students at CWU, and awareness of PWD and our community’s plan of inclusion for all. Planning stage 1 of recruitment, CWU club policy and procedure, recruitment and content creation occurred during Winter Quarter 2020. Preparation stage 2 of recruitment, completion of club forms and policy packet, officer induction, and media/canvas set up will occur during Spring 2020. Implementation stage 3 of rollout, engagement, officer training, support of Summer Certificate students, and preparation for Fall 2020 field trip will occur during Summer 2020. This project will include research on the change from class room instruction to online instruction and the restructure of our campus clubs and events to online formats and the impact on our future. COVID-19 has opened the door to more online social interactions and the positive occurrence of inclusivity for all individuals including people with disabilities. Can we continue this trend of inclusivity for all or will it return to the days prior to COVID-19 where individuals were excluded from certain activities? College of Education & Professional Studies Presentation Award Winner.
