Welcome to the READ Initiative website. READ stands for Research, Education, Accessibility and Design.
Building on Carleton University’s well established reputation as a leader in providing access to students with disabilities, the READ Initiative demonstrates the level of involvement and expertise that Carleton already has in the disability/accessibility field and endeavors to propel Carleton into a global leadership role in creating a world that is accessible and inclusive.
We bring the expertise in all academic disciplines and service departments at Carleton into collaboration with individuals and organizations world-wide that are committed to accessibility for persons with disabilities.
Please explore our web pages and contact us if you are interested in accessibility. Whether you are an individual with a disability, a researcher, or an organization working in the field of accessibility, you can play a part in creating greater accessibility.
