4. Conducting the Accessibility Audit (40 minutes):

Instruct each group to use the school map or floor plan to conduct a virtual or physical
accessibility audit of the school building.
Students should use sticky notes to mark areas where they identify accessibility barriers

based on the discussed standards.
Encourage them to consider the needs of people with various disabilities (mobility,
vision, hearing, etc.)

5. Developing Solutions with Pictograms (40 minutes):

Provide each group with ARASAC pictograms representing accessibility features.
Task them with proposing solutions to address the identified accessibility barriers using
the pictograms.

map/floor plan with the corresponding pictograms.
Encourage students to be creative and consider different solutions for each barrier.

6. Presentations and Discussion (40 minutes):

Each group presents their accessibility audit findings and proposed solutions using the
marked-up map/floor plan and ARASAC pictograms.
Facilitate a class discussion about the challenges and opportunities identified during the

audits.
Encourage students to consider the feasibility and potential impact of their proposed
solutions.
Discuss the importance of clear and universal communication through pictograms for
accessibility information.

7. Wrap-up (10 minutes):
