To celebrate Disability and Neurodiversity, we’re launching the Disability Profile series, spotlighting UBC faculty, staff, and students with disabilities.

We have created this webpage to serve as a resource for events, initiatives, and educational material. If you would like to have anything added to this webpage or to provide feedback, then please contact us at edii@apsc.ubc.ca.
