Abstrakt: Physical accessibility at colleges and universities is a perennial and challenging issue. Some campuses have made efforts to address these challenges through a variety of advocacy initiatives, while others have used disability simulations to bring greater awareness of physical accessibility to campus communities. An alternative approach to disability simulations and other accessibility awareness exercises is the Accessibility Expedition (AE). The AE engages participants in an exploration of campus spaces facilitated by disabled individuals and individuals knowledgeable of ADA Standards for Accessible Design and/or universal design (UD). The exploration is followed by a debriefing session to discuss barriers to equitable participation, as well as evidence of accessible or universal design practices. The description, rationale, steps for implementation, and observed outcomes of the AE practice are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
