“An update to regulations in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), set to take effect at the end of April, will require public institutions to meet new standards that dictate what accessibility should look like.”

Excerpt From
“These blind students say their college blocked their education. A new rule could help”
NPR

Higher education is especially reliant on computers and phones, but accessibility for people with disabilities has often been forgotten. A new federal rule could change that.

, or autism spectrum disorder, is a diverse group of brain development conditions.

In 2021, about 1 in 127 people worldwide were estimated to be on the autism spectrum.

Signs may appear in early childhood, but many go undiagnosed for years.

Early understanding and support can make all the difference. The abilities and needs of autistic people vary and can evolve over time. While some people with autism can live independently, others have severe disabilities and require life-long care and support.
