The Barbados Council for the Disabled congratulates Mr. Elviston Maloney, who at age 68, Elviston Maloney crossed the stage on Saturday to receive his degree in psychology and management after seven years at UWI’s Cave Hill Campus.

He believes accessibility for disabled students cannot begin at university; it must start in primary school. He contends that tertiary institutions are not adequately equipped to accommodate students with disabilities.

CONGRATULATIONS!
