Supporting Learning and Participation for ALL by eliminating barriers to learning.

The Open Access project is funded by the California Department of Education and the
California Collaborative for Educational Excellence as a Content Lead within
California’s Statewide System of Support. 

The Open Access Project is based in the foundational belief that with access to quality curriculum & instruction, students with disabilities can engage, actively participate, and learn within inclusive settings.

The pathway includes:

  • implementing the principles of universal design for learning (UDL) across all learning environments;
  • incorporating digital tools and/or accessible technologies (AT) into the design of instruction and measurement of learning; and
  • providing access to augmentative alternative communication (AAC) strategies and supports and a commitment to building communication competence for students with complex communication needs.

Get to know the Open Access Project Team, housed within Placer County SELPA. They have developed many resources which support the capacity building efforts across the state. The growing network of Regional Lead Teams are housed in SELPAs and County Offices across the state to support capacity building in their regions. Regional Implementation Specialists are part of a growing network of trainers and coaches who can support other SELPAs, counties and districts with training and coaching in these content areas. The Advisors are 

individuals who are experts in their fields who help guide these projects.

The primary goal is to support the development of Regional Lead Teams who support ongoing capacity building efforts (training, coaching and technical support) in three focus areas: UDL, AT and AAC. By supporting more universally designed learning environments, including the tools that can eliminate barriers to learning, we can increase student access to quality curriculum, participation and active engagement with learning in inclusive settings.
