Accessibility at Western

"For people without disabilities technology makes things easier. For people with disabilities technology makes things possible."

IBM Training Manual, 1991

Building accessibility into Western Washington University’s culture is not only the right thing to do, but also has many benefits to the campus community. Accessible technologies let all people at Western learn, work, and contribute in their own way.
