Workshop on Inclusion in Education of Persons with Disabilities in Higher Education

Addis Ababa University (AAU) has recently embarked on different disability related initiatives in order to help students with disabilities succeed in their education. As one of its core activities, the AAU team of the APPEAR project INEDIS has conducted a baseline survey on the status of the inclusion of students with disabilities in the teaching learning as well as services provision in six colleges of the University. Thus, this workshop was organized to share and deliberate on the findings of the baseline research conducted about the status of inclusion of students with disabilities in the six colleges of AAU. In order to make the workshop more comprehensive two other studies conducted by other researchers in AAU about students with disabilities and their experiences were invited and presented.
