The Learning Experience

S05., Ep 9: From Awareness to Action: Advancing Accessibility for Everyone


Listen Later

In recognition of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), this episode explores why accessibility matters and how each of us can help create more inclusive learning and digital environments.  

We are joined by an accessibility expert and recent PhD graduate, Dr. Wendy Velez-Torres, who shares her journey into the field, the passion that drives her work, and how her research is helping move accessibility forward. Together, we discuss common misconceptions about accessibility, practical steps organizations can take to improve access, and how designing accessibility in mind benefits everyone.
