AccessComputing

AccessComputing helps people with disabilities succeed in pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees and employment in computing fields. Led by UW with UC Irvine, Gallaudet University, and Tufts University, AccessComputing works to increase the capacity of postsecondary institutions and other organizations to fully include people with disabilities in computing education and employment.

AccessCSForAll

AccessCSForAll partners with computer science (CS) curriculum providers, in-service and pre-service providers, and organizations that support K-12 CS teachers and schools nationwide. Together they are decreasing barriers such as inaccessible tools and curriculum while improving access to quality computer science education for students with disabilities, including students who are deaf, are blind, or have learning disabilities.

AccessEngineering

AccessEngineering increases the participation of people with disabilities in engineering academic programs and careers. Project staff engage faculty and students nationwide in efforts to (1) better serve a diverse student body, including students with a broad range of disabilities, in engineering courses and programs, and (2) integrate relevant disability-related and universal design content into engineering courses.

Center for Technology and Disability Studies

Center for Technology and Disability Studies (UWCTDS) focuses disability and the supportive use of technology, providing direct services, conducting research, and translating knowledge and evidence-based practice. UWCTDS is an interdisciplinary program within the Institute on Human Development and Disability and the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine in the School of Medicine.
