Accessibility and Learning Supports
Our Approach
Arts Umbrella is working to create a more welcoming, safe, inclusive, and accessible environment for all students. Arts education is for everyone, but we also understand that sometimes it can be hard to ask for supports that you and/or your student need. We are always learning how to make our classes more comfortable for our diverse range of students. As a part of this work, we have been building and improving our approach to accessibility and learning supports in our programs and at our locations.
What do we mean by accessibility?
Accessibility means that all people can take part in their communities through work, play and other daily activities. Accessibility is important for everyone, especially people with disabilities. Accessibility is about removing barriers and increasing inclusion and independence for everyone.
At Arts Umbrella, accessibility means making every student feel welcome and confident in their classes, to ensure they have the tools and supports they need, that families and visitors can move through the building during organized events with ease, and that staff and faculty are empowered at work. For students, check out our Learning Supports for Students section to find out what is availability in our classes and to contact us about access needs. If you have questions regarding Autism Funding Unit (AFU) provincial funding, you can find more information under AFU Funding.
