The start of the fall semester is one of the busiest stretches for any disability services office. Faculty collaboration, accommodation planning, and new technology all land at the same time, and it's a lot to manage at once.

In this next Genio webinar, we're going to talk about how your department can prepare for fall with practical steps, stronger faculty partnerships, and a clear view of where AI fits into assistive technology this year.

**Here’s what we’ll cover:**

*   Identify practical steps your department can take now to **prepare for the fall semester rush.**
*   Strengthen **collaboration between disability services and faculty** ahead of the new term.
*   Understand how **AI is shaping the future of assistive technology** in higher education.
*   Explore what's involved in **remediating digital materials for accessibility**, like making math equations screen-reader friendly.
