The goal of this course is to promote equal opportunity and the full participation of students with disabilities in higher education by helping participants advance their awareness of the meaning of accessibility in education. Participants will gain competence and confidence in working with students by focusing on legislation, universal design, and assistive technologies. Thank you to Abbas (Bobby) Husain Quamar, Graduate Student Researcher in the Department of Rehabilitation Science and Technology at the University of Pittsburgh, for his contributions to the course.

TOP REVIEWS FROM DISABILITY AWARENESS AND SUPPORT
I learnt a lot about accommodation and legal provisions for persons with disability.
nice course for basic understandings regarding disabilities .
This course is very good. I would recommend it to my colleagues. Although it benefit to have more information on other types of accessibility. Its short, simple and well thought.
I am interested in studying this course because it provides various aspects to support people with disabilities and is directly related to my work at the university
