Developed by the National AEM Center at CAST with support from the U.S. Department of Education, it explains essential institutional system components, from timely, high-quality accessible materials to training, technical assistance, data collection and data use, and resource allocation. The guide supports campus teams with establishing an implementation plan and monitoring progress using Innovation Configuration

The National AEM Center provides training, coaching, and resources to increase the availability and use of AEM and accessible technologies for learners with disabilities across the lifespan. The Quality Indicators with Critical Components for Providing AEM and Accessible Technologies in Higher Education (AEM Quality Indicators) are the foundation of the Center’s TA for postsecondary academic institutions. They describe the essential components of an institutional system that provides timely, high-quality accessible materials and technologies. These relate to complying with federal legislation; selecting, creating, and using accessible materials and technologies; implementing policies and guidelines; providing training, technical assistance, and professional learning; collecting and using data; and allocating resources.
