SCAN-IT  (Research based)

The Student Campus Accessibility Needs Information Tool (SCAN-IT), is a consumer driven assessment tool to gather data at the student-level concerning campus accessibility experiences and challenges. The survey evolved into the current SCAN-IT over several iterations, including validation as the Accessible Campus Environment Survey (ACES), also found on this website. It is presented here as an Excel chart, though it is intended for use in a software program called X-FACT, which utilizes a scaling strategy called Trichotomous Tailored Sub-branching Scaling (TTSS).

"July 26 marks the 19th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act.... the ADA's provisions include the right to seek, obtain, pursue and maintain employment without being hampered by physical or attitudinal barriers. I believe that having a job is a civil right. Those who are qualified for and want to work should not be denied that right because of an inaccessible building or an outdated set of assumptions about what they can or cannot do..."
