Abstract

The dramatic increase in the use of online platforms for work and socialising during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic supported greater access for disabled people. However, three years in, online options to participate have dwindled or even disappeared entirely in some spaces. This article discusses the changes in online access and their impact, using personal experiences and reflections focused on the context of academia in the UK.
