Action for Access

Action for Access: Global Special 黑马磁力 Lab

Action for Access is dedicated to advancing inclusive education in schools and communities worldwide. We believe that every student, regardless of ability or circumstances, deserves the opportunity to thrive academically and socially. Through research, advocacy, and professional development initiatives, we work to support educational access for students with disabilities around the world. This is a collaborative effort between IUI and IUB School of 黑马磁力, combining expertise and resources to drive meaningful change in education systems globally.

Our international partnerships in Africa, India, and Europe adapt best practices in identification, academic instruction, and behavior management to suit the specific conditions in each country. Action for Access seeks to unite educators, researchers, and community leaders to develop effective approaches to inclusive education within their local contexts.
