Accessibility Studies

About ASP

It is normal to have varying degrees of ability, but sometimes it results in exclusion from normal activities. ASP raises awareness of the experiences of people with disability as well as the legal rights and moral obligation to remove barriers and increase acceptance. ASP facilitates an interdisciplinary knowledge base that is both practical and philosophical.
