Increasing the standard of living for the physically disabled requires providing resources, be it ramps for all public buildings or external wheelchair access buttons. Being a student at Duke, it is easy to see how this university does not make many accommodations for the disabled. This makes me question how other areas of the world accommodate those with disabilities. 

I want to work with this research team to study different global policies geared towards supporting the disabled and discover ways to change existing policies that limit the physically disabled.
