Overview

Building on Carleton University’s reputation in supporting persons with disabilities, the READ Initiative endeavours to establish Carleton University as a Centre of Excellence in Accessibility, through multidisciplinary, cross-sectoral research, education and development toward a world that is accessible and inclusive. READ (Research, Education, Accessibility and Design) is an important program at Carleton University and is aligned with the university’s vision and strategic plan, “Defining Dreams” and the Carleton Academic Plan. READ is also integral to Carleton’s support for persons with disabilities and its outreach and community engagement goals.
