This refreshed strategy guides the implementation of accessibility initiatives at 杏吧原创 and acts as a catalyst to drive our culture of accessibility. It was developed after several months of  and represents the diverse voices of our community, including those with lived experiences of disability. We have made , but there is more to be done. This renewed strategy guides our ongoing commitment to a campus that is accessible and inclusive for all.

We would like to thank everyone who provided feedback throughout this process. Your input was invaluable in shaping the renewed strategy. As part of our commitment to conducting a transparent process, the CAS has published  throughout the drafting phase of the consultation.

Together, we can create a more accessible and inclusive world for all.
