ACES Taxonomy  (Research based)

The Accessible Campus Environment Survey (ACES) was developedas a tool designed to evaluate campus accessibility from a student perspective and covers a broad array of post-secondary student experiences. ACES was designed to be presented through the use of a software program called X-Fact, utilizing a scaling strategy known as Trichotomous Tailored Sub-branching Scaling (TTSS). It is presented here as an Excel chart with definitions of activities and scoring option.

U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao, Summit on Disability Employment Policy, 6/3/08
