Accessibility resource for BIPOC students – BIPOC students with disabilities face significant barriers to quality education. Learn how accessibility removes these barriers, and why this matters.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), 19% of students reported having a disability during the 2015-2016 academic year. Of these students, about 80% were BIPOC.

For many of these students, disability justice and racial justice are intertwined, as ableism, racism, and other barriers discriminate against and disable them, limiting their academic success.
