Several institutions are taking steps to improve campus accessibility. Humber Polytechnic is adopting a social model of disability focused on removing barriers to accessing support. As part of this approach, Humber is finalizing a new Academic Accommodation policy, streamlining its intake processes, and enhancing communication about available resources. An app developed at the University of Guelph is making doors more accessible. The Smart Door Access System uses Bluetooth to connect accessible doors to an app, allowing users to open doors with a phone tap or voice command. The app is already in use at UoGuelph’s School of Engineering, with plans for expansion. The University of Manitoba is offering students access to Panorama, a tool that scans content and helps resolve accessibility issues.
