About R2D2
The ACCESS-ed project is based on the R2D2 Center at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. While the ACCESS -Ed partners are distributed across numerous university campuses, the R2D2 Center hosts the activity and this central website.
The R2D2 Center is a group of researchers and educators who focus on the areas of technology, universal design, and disability.
The R2D2 Center performs interdisciplinary basic research investigations, applied research and development, and innovative instruction related to technology and disability.
The Center was established in the College of Health Sciences as the Center for Rehabilitation Sciences and Technology (CRST). The Center's name was changed to the Rehabilitation Research Design & Disability (R2D2) Center in November 2003 to more accurately describe the Center's overall activities.
The R2D2 Center affiliates with multiple college/school units in the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Currently, key linkages exist with the Departments of Occupational Therapy and Health Sciences in the College of Health Sciences, the Department of Exceptional Education in the School of Education, the School of Architecture and Urban Planning, and components of the campus Office of Information Technology.
The R2D2 Center is pleased to host the ACCESSS-ed Project and its activities. We enthusiastically invite you to peruse this website as a key information source for universal design in higher education.
