Uli Egger, Accessibility Specialist at the Rick Hansen Foundation, will provide an overview of two accessibility education courses offered through the Rick Hansen Foundation (RHF). Accessible Spaces 101 and the Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification (RHFAC) Training Course offer individuals the opportunity to enhance their knowledge of universal design and provide an introduction to the RHF method and standards for measuring and rating the level of meaningful access of buildings and spaces.

Dean Mellway, Special Advisor within the READ Initiative at Carleton University, will present a case study on how the RHF accessibility certification standards are being applied to rate the level of accessibility of over 40 sites on Carleton’s campus.
