The Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD) holds yearly informational conferences called Accessing Higher Ground. These conferences focus on the implementation and benefits of:
- Accessible media, Universal Design and Assistive Technology in the university, business and public setting
- Legal and policy issues, including ADA and 508 compliance
- The creation of accessible media and information resources, including web pages and library resources. For institutions of higher education there is a strong focus on campus accommodation and policies, alternate format production, Universal Design, and curriculum accessibility.
