At university, people w/ disabilities face barriers excluding them from full participation.
@AccessibleAc is a new platform for students/workers at Dutch universities that draws attention to these issues, initiates research & discussion, provides support &advocacy.
It matters.
Nothing about us without us. It's as simple as that.
Accessible Academia has launched and we invite all disabled academics, employees, students, and allies to join us in making academia and universities more inclusive! Join us!

"People w/dyslexia face a lot of difficulties because of an emphasis on rote learning and reading & writing.... [Instead, we could] nurture 'explorative learning'; through discovery, invention, creativity etc."
Loved hearing about @drhelentaylorcc's work: sciencefocus.com/news/dyslex…

Weet iemand hoe ik contact kan opnemen met de hier genoemde Adviescommissie? maybe @ECIO_NL ? scienceguide.nl/2023/09/de-o… [Kester]
between colleges, universities and government. In answering the questions, the two advisory reports on HBO and WO also insist on maintaining and, in a certain sense, further anchoring the current relationships, with HBO and WO developing alongside and separately from each other.
