Canberra Disability Review - Autumn 2022

We conducted an online interview of current ANU students with disabilities. We wanted to find out what challenges they have faced on campus. We also asked them about their experiences with barriers in the ACT, in general, and their suggestions about improving accessibility and inclusivity in the territory. We thank the students who kindly shared their experiences. They have highlighted the day-to-day realities of systemic disadvantage, the challenges of the COVID era, the positive significance of effective support and reasonable adjustments, and the often socially

isolated journey through challenging and, at times, alienating environments.

The following are some of their responses.
