Info about the Project
Equipping students with disabilities with the right accommodation helps them experience greater independence and self-esteem, which set them up for success. However, at present, many barriers inhibit these students from obtaining the right accommodation. This project seeks to explore these barriers, and to build a platform that helps students with disabilities overcome them, by providing them easy access to assistive technology and a chance to interact with peers and experts, thus building a supportive community around them.
