Comprehensive Disability Guide

美国科学促进会的科学技术与残疾项目已经开发并出版了四本简明的系列小册子，作为研究主任、会议召集人、部门主管和教授的全面无障碍指南，以便他们的项目的各个方面都能被科学家、工程师和残疾学生所接受。该系列包括以下内容：无障碍：科学家和工程师研讨会和会议；无障碍：科学和工程实验室和教室；无障碍：获得科学素养；无障碍：语言和行动的获取。该系列的存在已被广泛宣传，要求超出预期。最初的计划是在美国科学促进会和其他科学会议上提供该系列，但美国科学促进会每天都收到要求该系列的邮件。如果没有一些财政支持，他们将不再能够履行这些请求。这个项目将为邮资和秘书援助提供资金。《美国残疾人法案》的通过使得《无障碍》系列的传播及时。这个项目将有助于消除过去阻碍残疾科学家和学生充分参与科学研究的障碍。

The AAAS's Project on Science Technology and Disability has developed and published four concise brochures as a series to serve as comprehensive accessibility guides for research directors, meeting conveners, department heads, and professors so that all aspects of their programs will be accessible to scientists, engineers, and students with disabilities. The series includes the following: Barrier-Free: Workshops and Conferences for Scientists and Engineers, Barrier-Free: Laboratories and Classrooms in Science and Engineering, Barrier-Free: Access to Science Literacy, and Barrier-Free: Access in Word and Deed. The existence of the series has been widely publicized and requests have exceeded expectations. The original plan was to have the series available at AAAS and other scientific meetings but the AAAS has received requests for the series by mail daily. They are no longer able to honor the requests without some financial support. This project will provide funds for postage and secretarial assistance. The passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act has made the dissemination of the Barrier-Free series timely. This project will aid in efforts to remove barriers which have, in the past, prevented scientists and students with disabilities to fully participate in scientific research and studies.
