Mission and Goals

DREAM is charged with the mission of advancing the interests of students with disabilities, in post-secondary institutions, and their allies across the United States.  DREAM advocates for student rights, increased accessibility, social and policy change, and aims to provide support and mentorship to local campus disability groups and individual students.  We hope to empower students with disabilities to work for local and national change, encourage the development of disability culture and peer support, and advance the study of disabilities within academia.

In keeping with the larger cross-disabilities movement, DREAM aspires to be as inclusive as possible.  Goals include but are not limited to:
  1. Developing and maintaining a communications network to promote peer support and the exchange of ideas between students with disabilities in the United States.
  2. Collecting and disseminating information on topics of relevance to disabled students.
  3. Tracking and responding to local and national disability issues that affect post-secondary institutions and initiating national and local dialogues about issues that are in need of attention.
  4. Encouraging and strengthening local campus groups and coalitions.
  5. Promoting the participation of students with disabilities in all aspects of campus life and across disciplines.
