This interactive session at 10:30-11:30 am on September 16, 2016, “Students with disabilities: A primer for mobility advisers,” educated attendees at the European Association for International Education (EAIE) conference on strategies to resolve access barriers in study abroad. Activities sought to dispel misconceptions about specific disabilities, guide in respectful interactions, and build confidence to champion inclusion. Two long-time disability professionals, who have been educating about inclusion in the international exchange field for decades, teamed up for this session: Ann Heelan, Executive Director of AHEAD Ireland & Michele Scheib, Project Specialist, Mobility International USA.
