AccessComputing

The Alliance for Access to Computing Careers (AccessComputing) serves to increase the participation of people with disabilities in computing fields. AccessComputing partners with more than thirty postsecondary institutions and other organizations to apply evidence-based practices to

• help students with disabilities successfully pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees and careers in computing fields; and
• increase the capacity of postsecondary computing departments to fully include students with disabilities in computing courses and programs.

Project staff use lessons learned from earlier projects to fine-tune project interventions, thus ensuring continuous project improvement.
