Abstract
This report discusses the findings and recommendations of the ADORE project, which focuses on integrating accessibility training into the curricula of higher education programmes, specifically in the field of communication studies. The report presents the culmination of the project's efforts by connecting to its five Intellectual Outputs (IOs). The report outlines the creation of six distinct itineraries, each tailored to different professional profiles within the communication sciences field. This approach aims to introduce accessibility and digital accessibility concepts by starting with content that is most relevant to the competencies, interests, and future career development goals of each profile. Additionally, the report highlights the importance of accessibility and digital accessibility across eleven different disciplines within communication sciences, spanning from media ethics and journalism to media audiences and crisis communication. The report concludes by presenting a series of policy proposals designed for higher education institutions and policymakers. These proposals are intended to guide and support the inclusion of accessibility training in communication sciences programs. In this executive summary, we provide a concise overview of the objectives and outcomes of the first four Intellectual Outputs. Furthermore, we summarize the six professional profiles-based itineraries, outline core policy recommendations, and offer a brief insight into how accessibility training can be integrated into different professional profiles. To conclude, the report underscores the overarching significance of accessibility and digital accessibility within the realm of communication sciences and how it aligns with the curricula of bachelor's and master's programs in communication sciences at higher education institutions.
