Progress, not perfection

Remember, when we’re trying to improve accessibility and disability-inclusion in our courses it’s good to aim for progress, not perfection. On the one hand, anything less than ‘perfect’ might be inaccessible, yes. But don’t overwhelm yourself thinking you have to fix everything overnight, particularly if you don’t have a lot of institutional support. If you’re making changes because of an imminent student accommodations request, you might be able to talk to the student and prioritize needs. The student needs what they need, period (don’t ask them to decide which access they can do without!) but you might be able to handle one easy fix immediately before something else on the list that will require more thinking to adapt, etc.
