CPACC study plan

Define the medical, social, and functional models of disability in your own words and contrast how each explains barriers

Classify at least ten functional limitation categories (vision, hearing, mobility, cognition, speech, chronic health) by the access barriers each creates

Explain person-first versus identity-first language and apply the correct convention in written examples

Identify key figures and principles of the independent living and disability rights movements

Distinguish impairment, activity limitation, and participation restriction using a real-world scenario

Describe demographic and intersectional factors that shape disabled people's experiences of access

Explain the concept of invisible and episodic disabilities and their implications for accommodation requests

Evaluate common disability stereotypes and describe how they distort design and service decisions

Define accessibility, usability, and universal design and state how they differ in scope and intent

Apply the seven principles of universal design to evaluate a real product or physical space

Map the four POUR principles to concrete success criteria across web, document, and built-environment contexts

Explain the curb-cut effect and give two examples where broad benefit follows from disability-specific design

Identify the most common accessibility failures in web content, documents, and multimedia

Describe how color contrast, keyboard operability, and text alternatives interact to determine whether content is perceivable and operable

Match at least eight assistive technology categories to the functional limitations they address

Explain how screen readers, refreshable braille, captions, and switch access change interaction requirements for content authors

Describe adaptive strategies people use in daily life, study, and work that do not depend on purchased technology

Trace how a specific assistive technology depends on accessible design decisions in the underlying content or environment

Explain the roles of mainstream technology features, mobile operating system accessibility settings, and dedicated devices in a complete access solution

Identify where assistive technology fails because of design, cost, training, or policy rather than technical limits

Apply universal design thinking to reduce reliance on after-the-fact accommodations

Summarize the purpose and structure of the major international accessibility standards and how they relate to one another

Distinguish legal requirements, technical standards, and voluntary guidelines and explain how each is enforced

Describe the scope of accessibility law in at least three jurisdictions and note where obligations differ

Design an organizational accessibility program covering policy, governance, training, procurement, and feedback channels
