Research Initiatives
The University of Washington has had a critical mass of faculty and students working on accessible technology for many years—perhaps the most people dedicated to this topic of any university anywhere. CREATE brings us together like never before.
CREATE faculty, students and partners collaborate on exciting breakthroughs in accessible technology—advancing the inclusion and participation for people with disabilities. We focus on enabling people with disabilities to be part of the creation process, giving people with disabilities the education, voice, inspiration and opportunity to enter and move through their education and into professional settings.
