accessible education, accessible learning

Broad terms that describe any adaptive or inclusive educational initiative or environment for inclusion of disabled people. This can include university adaptive housing or disability services; private adaptive tutoring; individual self-directed learning or educational programs; high-tech or low-tech individualized tools; IDEA-defined special education programs; private school programs; or any other way a learning environment is adapted for a disabled person.

Unless specifically discussing IDEA-defined special education, EAPM suggests using the broad terms accessible education and accessible learning.
