Although Allen School professor emeritus Richard Ladner started his career as one of the founders of the University of Washington’s theoretical computer science group, he has grown to become a leading researcher in accessible technology and an advocate for expanding access to computer science for students with disabilities.Through mentoring and advocacy, he has directly helped hundreds of students with disabilities to gain exposure to computing as a potential career path. The Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE) recently recognized Ladner with the ACM SIGCSE Award for Outstanding Contribution to Computer Science Education . The award honors researchers who have made a long-lasting impact and significant contribution to computing education. Read more →
