On March 6, the newly opened Abilities Living Laboratory (ALL) at Carleton University successfully hosted an open house event in the ARISE building.

The ALL team aspires to translate the “Nothing about us, without us” imperative to include persons with disabilities in accessibility research and innovation into a future where “Nothing is without us.”
