Equal access to Education for Persons with Disabilities is a core element of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, ratified by more than 180 countries.  With the acceleration of the digital transformation of learning, universities around the world are at the forefront of innovation in ensuring that everything digital in their environment is fully accessible.
