02.24.2017 | Chalkbeat New York | According to 2016 data, the most recent available, just 13 percent of district and charter schools that serve high school grades are fully accessible. About 62 percent are partially accessible, and 25 percent are considered inaccessible. Making accessibility data public could help change those numbers, said Maggie Moroff, a disability policy expert at Advocates for Children who has pushed for greater transparency and praised the initiative. \u201cOnce it\u2019s out there, there\u2019s so much more self-advocacy a parent can do,\u201d Moroff said. \u201cThen they can make requests about specific accommodations.\u201d<\/p>

Greater transparency is just one step in the process. Moroff hopes the city will consider taking students\u2019 physical disabilities into account during the admissions process so that academically qualified students get preference for accessible schools. Once students arrive, she added, they must be welcomed by the school community. \u201cThere needs to be much more work to hold the schools accountable to actually welcoming those students,\u201d Moroff said. \u201cIt has to go hand in hand with making renovations and making accommodations.\u201d Lee el art\u00edculo<\/em><\/a><\/p>","":null,"settings":[]}}],"relationships":{"":null,"article_type":[83],"topics":[28],"misc_topics":[198]},"misc":{"search_results":{"":null,"excerpt":"","featured_image":""}}},"yoast_head":"\nHow accessible are New York City\u2019s high schools?
