The Michener Institute of Education at UHN believes in promoting an inclusive environment and ensuring our programs, services and facilities are accessible to everyone.
As part of this commitment, we have worked to implement the Government of Ontario’s Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) to ensure all Ontarians have fair and equitable access to programs and services and to improve opportunities for persons with disabilities.
The Customer Service Standard provides guidelines to accommodate the needs of persons with disabilities when accessing services or participating in programs. Michener requires all employees to complete training on the AODA Customer Service Standard.
AODA covers the following areas:
- Built Environment
- Customer Service Standards
- Integrated Accessibility Standards, which includes:
- Information and Communication Standards
- Employment Standards
- Transportation Standards
Michener accommodates employees with a disability in accordance with the Ontario Human Rights Code and any other applicable legislation. An employee with a disability who requires accommodation should submit a written request to Health Services.
Any qualified job applicant selected for an interview will be provided with the necessary accommodation(s) to ensure the applicant has an equal and full opportunity to participate in the recruitment process.
Michener’s Health Services and Student Success Network provide a full range of services for students who have a documented disability. The nature of the accommodation is developed according to the student’s particular needs, as supported by documentation, and may include:
- In-class accommodations
- Lab, assignment and exam accommodations
- Adaptive technology
- Academic resources
Students seeking accessibility accommodation are asked to register early with Health Services in order to ensure accommodation arrangements are in place in a timely manner.
