ETFO's Access Without Borders
This initiative is designed to raise awareness around disability issues and to provide strategies and recommendations for combating physical, informational, and attitudinal barriers. Launched in September 2007, this campaign includes teacher resources on inclusive education, a workshop, and ETFO’s protocol document on accessible meeting spaces.
