The Accessibility Institute continues Carleton University’s commitment to advancing accessibility across disciplines and sectors toward a world that is fully inclusive and accessible for all, starting with people with disabilities.
We bring together expertise, resources, and leadership into collaborations with individuals and organizations on initiatives that span across key areas of societal impact, in education, research, employment, policy, technology, services, and community engagement.
