Students with disabilities face structural, attitudinal, and digital barriers.
These barriers do not arise from individual limitations, but from outdated systems that have yet to reflect the full spectrum of human diversity. Overcoming these barriers is key to realizing the inclusive world we imagine.
The responsibility is often on the students to advocate for themselves, or the teachers on their behalf.
