About Us

Post-Secondary Accessibility Services (PSAS) is a dynamic and committed team that is leading and coordinating the Department of Advanced Education's work to become an accessible province by 2030. We work together with Nova Scotians with disabilities, community and disability organizations, businesses, municipalities, post-secondary institutions, and other partners to support the cultural shift needed to implement the Accessibility Act and address disability-related issues across the post secondary sector.

As a small but impactful team, PSAS has built strong relationships with post secondary institutions, with government of all levels and with public sector and community partners to support efforts to improve access to post secondary education for eligible people with disabilities. Our primary responsibility is the provision of Services and Equipment grants to post secondary students with disabilities to help remove barriers to successful completion of their educational goals. We are also proud to fund post secondary and community partner programs to help people with disabilities gain access and experience in the labor market. In 2022, our program supported over 4000 students.

We contributed to the development of Government's first multi-year accessibility plan and are a significant player in the development of the province's first accessibility standards – in the areas of Education, Built Environment and Employment. As we continue the work to create a fully accessible province by 2030, the PSAS Program Operations Manager will have a critical role to play.

Learn more about our work to ensure Nova Scotians with disabilities can enjoy all this province has to offer, at home, work and in community, on the Accessibility Directorate website:
