Unit Projects

Ateneo SWDs Research and Consultations

The commission recognizes the diversity of disability, wherein each person with disability has a specific set of needs and accommodations. With this in mind, it is necessary to collect and update data coming from the SWD sector within the community. Data coming from this initiative will serve as a guide towards planning future projects and initiatives of the commission to better serve SWDs. As such, CDI aims to facilitate comprehensive data gathering and consultations with our constituents.

Information Campaigns for Disability

The commission recognizes that there is a need to promote the diversity, inclusion, and acceptance of disability to a wide audience. These efforts could be promoted through both traditional and online media. As such, CDI aims to launch information campaigns regarding the topic of disability, specifically highlighting the different types of disabilities.

Curriculum-Based Initiatives

The commission recognizes that the university could improve on the inclusion of the PWD sector in their thrusts in training their students to be conscious of relevant social issues and realities, as well as to be men and women for others. As such, CDI aims to give recommendations to the current curriculum that would integrate PWD awareness and understanding in its courses.
