Accessibility and inclusivity is a paramount consideration in any learning environment design. From instruction to physical spaces, no one should be left out.

At AIDC22, we explore modern approaches to accessibility and inclusivity in the skilled design of learning environments that meet social, emotional, cultural, and academic needs of all learners. Join us to gain knowledge from other designers who are committed to building better spaces that are accessible and inclusive.
