Carleton University’s Accessibility Institute is helping build a more accessible Canada through innovation, collaboration, and capacity building.
Carleton University’s Accessibility Institute advances accessibility through applied research, national collaboration, and professional training. Alongside disabled people, communities, governments, industry, and academic partners in Canada and internationally, the Institute develops practical solutions across a diverse portfolio: AI for accessibility services, neurodiversity policy, accessible housing, emergency management, youth employability, accessible transportation, acoustics in the built environment, standards, strategic planning, and inclusive design.
As the National Office of the Canadian Accessibility Network, the Institute supports over 150 organizations and hundreds of members, connecting lived experience, research expertise, and sector leadership to drive coordinated action across Canada.
The Institute also builds capacity through Professional Education for Accessibility Competence and Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification training, equipping professionals to identify barriers and embed accessibility into everyday decisions.
