Assistive & Accessible AI · Capstone brief

ACC-10 · Northstar / specialized program fit

Adapt a brief for a specialized setting; price accessibility work as core, not a margin afterthought.

The question

Adapt a brief for a specialized setting; price accessibility work as core, not a margin afterthought.

Partners / materials

One prior brief from this bank (or teacher-assigned). Specialized-setting constraints from the teacher (sensory, staffing, schedule, consent). Cost/time worksheet that treats accessibility labor as a line item, not leftover minutes.

Expected failure modes

Copy-paste with a new logo. Accessibility as “phase 2.” Ignoring staffing reality. Fake partners again.

Done looks like

Adapted brief packet; constraint map; costed accessibility plan; what was cut because it could not be staffed ethically; partner-consent path restated for the setting.

Five C's

CT: access as core scope. CR: honest cuts. CO: peer checks for phase-2 theater. CM: costed plan. CZ: learners in the specialized setting.

Mentor role

Specialized-program teacher reviews staffing realism. School-supervised.

Rubric calibration

R1: one setting, one adapted brief. R2: constraints documented. R3: generic version vs adapted compared. R4: unstaffable pieces cut. R5: packet assignable. R6: consent path intact.

Two ways this goes wrong

(a) “We’ll add accessibility later.” (b) A plan that needs three FTEs the school does not have.

Credit lane fit
