Introduction

Hello, we are a team of three Georgia Tech students conducting a user research study on the topic of accessibility initiatives on campus. Our goal for this meeting is:

  1. Learn what disabled students on campus need in order to feel more supported
  2. Increase their success and quality of life on campus.

The results of this workshop will guide our team in identifying the main accessibility features that disabled students are struggling with and will determine our next steps. Raising awareness of these issues is an important step towards making change, so we appreciate your time and efforts!
