Toronto, Canada Toronto Metropolitan Univ Full time

**About Toronto Metropolitan**:
At the intersection of mind and action, Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) is on a transformative path to become Canada’s leading comprehensive innovation university. Integral to this path is the placement of equity, diversity and inclusion as fundamental to our institutional culture. Our current academic plan outlines each as core values and we work to embed them in all that we do.

In April 2022, the university announced its new name of Toronto Metropolitan University. Learn more about our next chapter.

**The team**

Part of Student Wellbeing, the Academic Accommodation Support (AAS) team facilitates and supports accessibility and inclusion through education and academic accommodation for the diverse mix of students with disabilities in order for each to fully participate in their academic experience at Toronto Metropolitan University.

TMU students with disabilities connect with AAS services to learn about and implement individualized academic accommodation plans while also exploring learning strategies, assistive technology, and other resources that can support them in more fully participating in their studies.

The Learning & Assistive Technology Strategist (LATS) is part of the Inclusive Learning team within AAS and reports to the Manager of Inclusive Learning. The LATS collaborates with their Inclusive Learning team members to explore creative approaches to supporting inclusive learning practices within the TMU community.

**The Opportunity**:
The Learning & Assistive Technology Strategist is responsible for supporting students with disabilities to integrate learning strategies (LS) and assistive technology (AT) into their learning environments through individual appointments and group programming such as workshops.

During one-on-one appointments, the LATS uses a student-centered approach to explore and offer guidance and training on learning strategies and assistive technology tools to help students develop an approach to their studies that is tailored to their accessibility needs. The incumbent is responsive to individual student needs and prepared to discuss: procrastination, motivation, time management, reading, writing essays, studying for and writing tests, note-taking, and assistive technology with students.

In collaboration with the Inclusive Learning team, the LATS guides service delivery and program planning by drawing from the lived experiences of students with disabilities, evidence-based resources from a variety of disciplines, and the social issues affecting students today.

**Key Responsibilities**
- Student Appointments:

- Create a safe, empathetic environment for students to identify, explore, and work towards their learning goals
- Assess students’ assistive technology needs and eligibility for the Bursary for Students with Disabilities & the Canada Student Grant for Services and Equipment - Students with
- Disabilities (BSWD/CDG-DSE) by connecting with students about disability-related impacts and reviewing and interpreting medical documentation and psychoeducational assessment reports
- Consult and collaborate with team members in providing assistive technology recommendations
- Refer students to appropriate on-campus supports, as needed.

Program Delivery:

- Research, design and deliver inclusive and accessible workshops and programs to students with disabilities focused on guiding students through key aspects of their learning experience.

Technology Liaison:

- Contribute to maintaining an inventory of available assistive technology
- Stay current with emerging research, trends, and assistive technology relevant to the disabled student experience.

**Qualifications**

To help us learn more about you, please provide a cover letter and resume describing how you meet the following required qualifications:

- Successful completion of a post-graduate Master’s degree program in education or related field required with an emphasis on planning and implementing learning strategy skills and assistive technology support with students with disabilities
