Breaking Down the Barriers
To improve, accessibility must be integrated into every aspect of the university experience. The eBook will explore four areas that are critical to breaking down barriers, both physical and digital, to enable a truly accessible campus environment where all students have an equal opportunity to succeed.
The following topics are discussed in the eBook, Breaking Down the Barriers:
- Accessible Academics
- Digital Accessibility
- Physical Access
- Change at all Levels
