Vision:

The Commission on Disability Access and Design’s vision is a university community free from physical and attitudinal barriers to services, programs and activities through Universal Design and Universal Design for Learning.

Mission:

CDAD works with the university community to create a welcoming, supportive and inclusive university environment. The commission supports and reaffirms NAU’s stated commitment to Inclusive Excellence and Access.

Why Our Work Is Important

“With ableism so engrained in our society that people often can’t even recognize it, it is important for the voices of people with disabilities to be amplified and considered so everyone can understand their unique experiences. One of the things I love about working with CDAD and the disability community more generally is the diversity that exists within it. We are all so different in every way imaginable, yet we all share the common goal of respecting the dignity of all people and making sure everyone can lead self-determined lives and participate in all facets of their communities. Accessibility is about making sure everyone is included. That is what CDAD strides to do here at NAU.” – John Schaffer, co-chair.

Meetings

CDAD meets every month of the year except July. Meetings are held virtually through Zoom on the third Wednesday of every month from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m., unless otherwise stated.
