UW-System Universal Accessibility

UW-System and UW-Campus Technology Contacts

Just as building ramps provide access for those with certain disabilities, technology also requires appropriate ramps. The focus of this site is to serve as a central starting point for assistive technology resources across the University of Wisconsin System.

For background information, please visit the Access to Technology for Individuals with Disabilities site, which details a December 1999 whitepaper and the committee charged with developing it.
