Accessibility

Plan adjustments before the first session.

Contact TechCommons before enrolment if a student requires an adjustment. Final venue-access information will be published when the room booking is confirmed.

Request an adjustment

Email techcommons.org@gmail.com and describe what would help the student participate; a detailed diagnosis is not required.

Response targets

TechCommons aims to acknowledge an accessibility request within two business days and confirm whether the adjustment can be provided within five business days, or before the first session if sooner.

Adjustments TechCommons can plan

Depending on the learner, course and room, reasonable options include:

  • Digital lesson instructions and accessible digital formats wherever practicable
  • Larger text and screen zoom
  • Written and verbal instructions
  • Repeated demonstrations and additional processing time
  • Additional breaks and seating choice
  • Paired support
  • Reduced sensory load where the room permits

Limits that require an honest conversation

TechCommons cannot currently commit to personal care, medical supervision, specialist therapeutic support, Auslan interpretation, specialist equipment or one-to-one support. If a request cannot be safely provided, TechCommons will explain that before enrolment.

Venue information

The proposed community-class venue is Dougherty Community Centre in Chatswood, but the room is not booked. Physical access features, entrance, room, drop-off and collection instructions will be verified and published after confirmation.

Using this website

The site uses semantic landmarks and headings, visible keyboard focus, descriptive links, a skip link, reduced-motion support and a text alternative beside the optional map. Text and layouts reflow across common phone, tablet and desktop widths.

If you encounter a website barrier, email techcommons.org@gmail.com with the page and problem.

Considering a class?

Review the learning pathways, then email TechCommons about practical adjustments before enrolment.
