Accessibility benefits not only students with disabilities, but also multilingual learners, students with temporary injuries, and others who may need different ways to access information.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) supports equal access in educational settings, including colleges and universities.

A recent WBUR article explores “ability drift,” or the idea that disability can become part of many people’s lives over time through aging, illness, injury, or changing health conditions.

The article highlights why accessibility benefits everyone, not just a small group of people. Features like captions, ramps, accessible websites, flexible work options, and clear communication can improve access for people with disabilities across many areas of daily life.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) continues to play an important role in supporting access and reducing barriers in workplaces, transportation, public services, and businesses.
