Bibliography of research on Accessibility Education

This page lists peer-reviewed research papers on digital accessibility education. The list was generated through a systematic literature review (Sept, 2019) and is open to updates. To recommend additional empirical, peer-reviewed, published research that is missing from this list, please contact us.

The list links to external publisher and author websites. All open access articles, and freely available ‘authors drafts’ are highlighted as [OA]. Other papers are paywalled by publishers, with a cost associated.
