Suan Dusit University (SDU) is strongly committed to promoting educational equality and accessibility for all learners, particularly for persons with disabilities who require specialized assistance to participate fully in academic life. Guided by the principle of “Leave No One Behind” under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities, SDU provides comprehensive support systems to ensure that every student can learn and thrive with dignity and independence.
The Disabled Student Support Division (DSS) serves as the university’s core unit responsible for coordinating and implementing accessibility and learning support services for students with disabilities. DSS ensures equitable access to education by providing both academic and technological support, including:
– Braille Books and Documents – to facilitate learning for visually impaired students;
– Large-Print Materials – designed for students with low vision;
– DAISY Digital Audio Books – allowing students to access academic materials in audio format;
– Individualized Learning Support and Counselling – offering personalized learning assistance, academic guidance, and career mentoring.
These services are delivered by trained professionals who collaborate closely with faculty and university staff to create an inclusive learning environment that supports every student’s full potential.
Beyond educational materials, SDU has adopted Universal Design principles across campus facilities—such as ramps, accessible restrooms, and audio-visual aids—to ensure physical and digital accessibility for all. The university also fosters empathy and understanding through peer support and volunteer activities, promoting mutual respect and inclusion within the academic community.
At the regional level, SDU extends its efforts beyond campus through community-based initiatives. The Suan Dusit University Suphan Buri Campus collaborates with local authorities and social development agencies to improve the quality of life and employment opportunities for persons with disabilities through training programs and inclusive education workshops.
