Making the HIV and AIDS Office’s services accessible to students with disabilities

This group chose to work with the Unit for Students with Disabilities and set to work at helping the HIV and AIDS Office to serve their community better. Pamphlets were printed in Braille and an HIV-related exhibition held at the unit with the aim of creating awareness on HIV/AIDS. The Unit for Students with Disabilities student committee members and selected staff were invited to an information session at the new Health and Wellness Centre and a pledge was signed by the Centre, stating that they acknowledge and appreciate the existence of the Unit and commit to remaining sensitive to their needs. The social workers’ project laid the foundation for the development of a meaningful and fruitful relationship between the Health and Wellness Centre and Unit for Student with Disabilities.
