I don't think it is possible to make any blanket declarations. I am sure even within the best Universities (if there is such a thing) that arrangements vary between department never mind the demands of the course. Given that every disabled individual is an individual with a variety of impairments again it is not easy to specify. What is good for one could be very different for another. Larry From: The Disability-Research Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Nadia Ahmed Sent: 08 December 2012 13:40 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Disabled Friendly Universities. Can anyone please name me at least the top 10 Universities that claim to be disabled-friendly for students as well as staff in the United Kingdom? According to an article in the Guardian, Oxford, Essex, Southampton and Cardiff were supposedly the first universities to develop disability friendly accommodation schemes- I'm guessing they would be the most disability friendly institutions, if they have continued to progress over time. Although they must be many more out there? Many thanks, Nadia. As we know already that the policies and practices in universities have made it very much possible and very much normal for students with disabilities to achieve higher education, but is this also the same for academics with disabilities, and their career development?
