Students with Disabilities in Denmark

Abstract

The law prohibits discrimination against persons with physical, sensory, intellectual, and mental disabilities in several sectors or the provision of other state services. The government not only mandates access by persons with disabilities to government buildings, education, information, and communications but also effectively enforces these provisions. Scandinavia seeks to lead the world in disability amenities. Denmark in particular has a program called “Accessibility for All”. This program classifies different hotels and attractions into several different accessibility groups. Generally speaking, Denmark is largely wheelchair accessible.
