READi acknowledges the importance of affective learning (emotion\/feeling), where trainees not only gain the knowledge and skills to meet accessibility needs (i.e., cognitive learning) but also develop the inspiration and motivation to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-key=\"49\">The event included a presentation from Birhanu Addis, a PhD Candidate in Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Queen\u2019s University titled \u201cAssistive Technology Use and its Associated Factors among University Students with Disabilities: A Case in a Developing Country\u201d and a talk from Peter Morel of Top Shape Inc titled \u201cAccessibility in the fitness environment\u201d sharing his lived experience as a person with disabilities and how he has built an accessible fitness centre in the Ottawa area. The fifth cohort of READi students presented on their Action Team Projects, discussing the accessibility issue they tackled, the knowledge and ideas that were developed, and their learning journey, and all READi students spoke to their experiences in the program, sharing the challenges they faced and what they gained along the way.<\/p>\n<p data-key=\"49\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1066\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/readi\/wp-content\/uploads\/Readi-symposium-400x300.jpg\" alt=\"READi Symposium attendees pose for picture\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/readi\/wp-content\/uploads\/Readi-symposium-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/readi\/wp-content\/uploads\/Readi-symposium-240x180.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/readi\/wp-content\/uploads\/Readi-symposium-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/readi\/wp-content\/uploads\/Readi-symposium-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/readi\/wp-content\/uploads\/Readi-symposium.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Research and Education in Accessibility, Design, and Innovation (READi) training program began its sixth year with a hybrid symposium held at Queen\u2019s University in Kingston, Ontario for the first time.
