Creating a Culture of Accessibility in the Sciences Summary

Creating a Culture of Accessibility in the Sciences by Mahadeo A. Sukhai (Research Fellow and Team Leader, University Health Network, Princess Margaret Hospital, Ontario Cancer Institute, Toronto, ON, Canada)

Creating a Culture of Accessibility in the Sciences provides insights and advice on integrating students with disabilities into the STEM fields. Each chapter features research and best practices that are interwoven with experiential narratives. The book is reflective of the diversity of STEM disciplines (life and physical sciences, engineering, and mathematics), and is also reflective of cross-disability perspectives (physical, sensory, learning, mental health, chronic medical and developmental disabilities). It is a useful resource for STEM faculty and university administrators working with students with disabilities, as well as STEM industry professionals interested in accommodating employees with disabilities.
