Grab your map and your sense of adventure for this year’s Mobility Matters! Get ready for a virtual, accessible trip to a national treasure in the Pacific Northwest, historic Fort Vancouver! Portland State University’s College of Education is excited to reprise this 4th annual interdisciplinary summit with a focus on exploring our national treasures through accessible virtual field trips. Join teachers from Washington State School for the Blind, Steve Lowry and Jeff Bowler, who are partnering with PSU and National Park Service staff to take us on a virtual tour of this National Park Service gem.

Educators, curators, urban planners, O&M Specialists, civil engineers, and all those that are interested in accessible recreation and learning are welcome to join us. Special guests include students and faculty from schools for the blind who will add to the dialogue about accessible learning and mobility for all.

**A limited supply of learning kits were sent to students who were registered in advance by their educators or parents/guardians, which included reproduction artifacts for the tour and a tactile map. Note: The deadline to register and receive these materials has passed, but the tactile map file and other materials may be accessed on our Resources page.
