sustainability, children with disabilities, educational infrastructure, accessibilityAbstract
This study investigates the current situation and possible solution to enhance accessibility for people with disabilities in Mongolia. Through the analysis of public data and interviews with individuals with and without disabilities, our study reveals significant challenges in achieving equality, primarily stemming from societal perceptions and inadequate infrastructure. However, we identify potential avenues for policy improvements that can lead to greater equity for individuals with disabilities, aligning with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
