DESCRIPTION:McGill's third Disability Awareness Week will be held March 24t
 h to 28th 2014.   The OSD\, and the MyAccess suite of services it offers\,
  promote awareness and implementation of Universal Design (UD) as a sustai
 nable and socially just model to address Disability issues and widen acces
 s to learning. The three core principles of UD (multiple means of represen
 tation\, multiple means of expression and multiple means of engagement) ca
 n be tailored to individual contexts and interactions\, but it is undeniab
 le that the rapid development of technology brings unique ease and endless
  opportunities to their application. Web based portals\, IT tools\, and sy
 nchronous and asynchronous virtual means of interactions are all examples 
 of the way technology is making us rethink our notion of Access. The theme
  of this year`s Disability Awareness Week is 'Making it virtual and Access
 ible' and hopes to be a celebration of the varied and creative ways our tw
 o campuses are embracing technological innovations to widen access.    Sch
 edule and Themes  The week will focus on raising awareness of technology a
