ACCESS-ed and UDE

The ACCESS-ed Project focuses on several campus interventions to improve the postsecondary education success of students with disabilities. However, as we know, the typical intervention models provide service only to students with declared disabilities. Thus, to address the fundamental reality that many students with disabilities do not declare their disability or may not have been diagnosed as having a disability, the ACCESS-ed Project includes an emphasis on Universal Design in Education. UDE also has the side benefit of making education more accessible for all students, including those students at risk, but without disabilities, such as English as second language students and even students without any educational challenges.

Universal Design in Higher Education  (PowerPoint Presentation)

"July 26 marks the 19th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.... the ADA's provisions include the right to seek, obtain, pursue and maintain employment without being hampered by physical or attitudinal barriers. I believe that having a job is a civil right. Those who are qualified for and want to work should not be denied that right because of an inaccessible building or an outdated set of assumptions about what they can or cannot do..."
