REACH - Resource, Education, Accessibility, and Community Hub for UW Students with Disabilities

Project tags:

equity & inclusion

mobile or web development

social justice

According to research, Disability Resources for Students (DRS) at the UW lacks holistic resources to equitably aid students outside of the classroom. To address this, we designed REACH, a web-application that offers UW students easy access and connection to resources both on-campus and off, connection with like-minded students through an anonymous discussion forum, and convenient answers to common questions and issues other students with dis/abilities have experienced at UW. Our mission is to empower students with disabilities by providing an online platform where they can discover a supportive community and access essential resources, tailored to their unique needs.
