The Accessibility Toolkit

The Accessibility Toolkit

How do we make the presentation of art inclusive and accessible? The Accessibility Toolkit is a collaboration between students and faculty members of Humber College, and artists from Tangled Art + Disability (TAD). It is intended to inform and educate students, artists, arts organizations, curators, program directors, volunteers, and gallery staff. Developed by, and in consultation with, disability identified, Deaf and Mad artists, people with lived experience, curators and performers, this toolkit is one that art spaces can use to further develop and implement inclusive programming.

Purl

SMART Sheet

SMART Sheet

A SMART goal is a framework for defining objectives, where each goal is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). Follow this method to establish clear, attainable goals that hold you accountable to a deadline. SMART goals are useful in all professional sectors and industries, as well as in personal life (see examples of personal and professional SMART goals below). Using this framework will help ensure that you are working toward clearly defined goals that you can execute by a deadline. Additionally, the SMART framework eliminates guesswork and back-and-forth among parties. It also helps individuals and teams track progress with pre-defined success metrics.
