Coordinated Accessibility Strategy
The creation of a Coordinated Accessibility Strategy emerged from the desire to continue building on Carleton’s commitment to creating a culture of accessibility. Following an extensive consultation process, Carleton University approved the Coordinated Accessibility Strategy and mandated the READ Initiative, now the Accessibility Institute, with its implementation.
The Coordinated Accessibility Strategy is intended to be:
- A framework to guide Carleton University’s commitment to a campus that is accessible and inclusive for all;
- A mechanism to coordinate accessibility services, programs, and initiatives by working with units on campus to build capacity and competency in accessibility; and,
- A catalyst that drives and inspires our culture of accessibility, fostering a community that supports the inclusion and participation of all members.
The Carleton University Coordinated Accessibility Strategy (CAS) is the university’s multi-year plan that guides the university in its accessibility initiatives. View the CAS annual progress reports.
