Abstract

Persons with disabilities (PWD) often experience discrimination and neglect, hindering their potential and opportunities for growth. Higher education offers a chance for PWD to pursue their dreams and find better job prospects, but the learning culture at this level emphasizes independence and resourcefulness, which can pose challenges for disabled students. This study aims to address the lack of awareness and proper facilities for PWD in higher learning institutions. The research identifies the existing facilities provided for PWD and evaluates students' awareness of accessible design. A questionnaire survey and on-site analysis are conducted in three higher learning institutional buildings. The findings reveal a need for improvement in knowledge, implementation, and perception of accessibility. Based on the analysis, recommendations are provided to enhance awareness and accessibility of disabled facilities in higher learning institutions. These recommendations include prioritizing educational programs and awareness initiatives involving individuals with disabilities, implementing practical measures for accessibility, and providing exposure and education about disabled facilities. By adopting these recommendations, higher learning institutions can create a more inclusive environment that meets the needs of all individuals, regardless of their disabilities.
