AHEAD Conference 2014 - Call for Papers
Wed, 13/11/2013
The AHEAD Conference 2014 call for papers is open. The conference is organised by AHEAD, the Association for Higher Education Access and Disability, under the theme “Into the Real World: What does the best higher education experience for students with disabilities look like?”. The Conference will take place in Dublin Castle, Ireland, on March 18th 2014.
For many students with disabilities, the ‘real world’ starts in college. Inclusion in this environment comes in many forms. It’s more than what happens in the lecture hall, it’s about all aspects of higher education.

- > Teaching and Learning/Assessment.
- > Openness to different disabilities, (dyslexia, mental health, autism, others).
- > Work placement/ Professional internships /Graduate Recruitment.
- > Assistive Technologies/ Solutions.
- > Student Union / Clubs and Societies.
- > International education/ Erasmus/ Study abroad.
The conversation starts today
