To mark National AccessAbility Week, the Gazette spoke to Marie-Claude Gagnon, senior officer on accessibility policy at the Human Rights Office. We took the opportunity to clear up notions about accessibility and discuss some on-campus initiatives, including course syllabus updates and access to adaptive digital tools.
The Human Rights Office helps the University community better understand the experiences and points of view of persons with a disability, to facilitate their access to activities, services and buildings. It also runs the uOaccessible advisory committee.
