On 11 November, the European accessibility resource centre AccessibleEU announced a practical guide for universities and other higher education institutions. It examines accessibility from the perspective of students with disabilities as they compare courses, apply, enrol and take part in campus life. It also considers what happens after graduation.
The guide identifies two areas for universities to work on. One is to teach accessibility across more programmes, so students can apply what they learn in their future professions. The other is to make the courses themselves accessible by reviewing the formats, content and activities that students use to learn.
The recommendations cover teaching, research and administration. The authors highlight the role of services that support students and staff with disabilities and encourage institutions to respond to each person’s needs. The full guide is available to download from the AccessibleEU website.
