Accessibility in Action · L'accessibilité en action
Accessibility training for biomedical and medical institutions, for better care and research with persons living with disabilities.
Who we are
Funded by the Government of Ontario and supported by the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, our mission is to bring accessibility training to biomedical and medical institutions, so that persons living with disabilities receive better care and are better served by research. Our workshops are open to hospitals and educational institutions that want to build their communities' skills in accessibility best practices.
Training in action
Board games, hands-on tools and open discussion about the barriers people face in biomedical research.
