4/25/11We are nearing completion of a draft of the proposal. We were also recently contacted by the current EVPLA, Cori Lantz, and in a meeting with her she expressed much interest in our project and supporting it any way she can. 3/31/11Work started on a first draft of the proposal we intend on presenting to AS.
CODE is doing what we can to keep the continued work towards a fully accessible campus alive. Our goal is to have a transportation system implemented that will serve the needs of UCSB students with either temporary (i.e. a broken leg) or permanent disabilities (i.e. blind, paraplegic). We have partnered up with AS Leg Council and they have also taken this project under their wing. Together we hope to put together a proposal for a pilot project, present it to AS governance for approval. The end goal is to create a system that will serve the entire UCSB campus, Isla Vista, and possibly even Goleta and parts of Santa Barbara. As of yet there is no projected date for the implementation of this system. On the CODE webpage there will be updates as to the progress of this endeavor. We are always looking for help with getting this project off the ground faster. Any interested parties should email us at as.disability.equality@gmail.com. DevereuxA group home for intellectual handicapped adults, we are trying to get as many volunteers as we can for this. You would be socializing and interacting with adults that have various forms of intellectual deficiencies. Its really an engaging and fun opportunity! Some of the activities include movie nights, local outings, beach excursions, and even trips to major venues (Angels game anyone?)! Everything is planned out ahead of time by the staff, so all you have to do is get there and have fun!
Recordings for the Blind and DyslexicThis is another really fun opportunity! Here you would read books aloud for the sake of individuals with visual, learning, or processing disabilities. The environment is very relaxed and you get to read some really great books! In fact, its been called a great source for random bits of knowledge (great for parties or the next time your friends want to have a trivia night!) |
