TeachAccess

A US-based initiative co-founded in 2015 by technology companies, universities, and disability organisations to integrate accessibility into the curricula of computer science, design, and related disciplines. TeachAccess develops teaching materials, study-abroad programmes, curriculum modules, faculty grants, and student internship programmes to close the gap between industry demand for accessibility-aware professionals and the traditional computing curriculum’s limited coverage of accessibility. Founding and participating organisations include Microsoft, Google, Meta, Adobe, Apple, IBM, and major US universities. For accessibility educators, TeachAccess is a primary source of vetted teaching modules aligned with industry practice.
