For #IDPWD, I'm reflecting on some things I've learned about making teaching and learning more accessible- please feel free to add, query or correct! Thread 
Wherever possible, send course materials to students beforehand so that they have time to process the information before coming to class.
Don't assume that online learning management systems like Canvas and Blackboard are easily navigable with screen-reading software. Ask students if they need you to send over copies of assessment feedback e.g. in-text comments.
Believe your damn students- if they tell you they need adjustments and you're equipped to make them, just do it. If not, be active in figuring out work-arounds.
Pay attention to what your students choose to disclose to you about disability or chronic illness, and keep that in mind when interacting throughout the semester! This can be hard if you have lots of students, but an email folder system for special considerations requests helps.
Think carefully about the language + examples you use. As a non-disabled person I have noticed that academics tend to be way more race-conscious than attuned to ableism- it's a constant process of learning, but the teaching shouldn't fall on disabled or chronically ill students.
