About Global Accessibility Awareness Day

The purpose of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) is to get everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital access and inclusion, and the more than One Billion people with disabilities/impairments.

What is digital accessibility?

Digital accessibility provides disabled people with the same access to web-based services, content, and other digital products as everyone else. We all play a role in ensuring University content is accessible to employees and students with disabilities. This awareness and commitment to inclusion is the goal of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), a global event that shines a light on digital access and inclusion for people with disabilities.
