The Government of Ontario has posted both the AODA Postsecondary Education Standards Development Committee鈥檚 Final Recommendations Report and the Education Technical Sub-Committee鈥檚 Transition Report online.
The committees were tasked with identifying accessibility barriers in Ontario鈥檚 publicly funded postsecondary education sector and provide recommendations on measures to prevent and remove these barriers for students with disabilities through the development of a proposed Education Accessibility Standard. The Ontario government is now carefully reviewing the final recommendations and may accept them in full, in part, or with modification.
