The Disability Accommodation Consultants at the Disability Resource Center seek to facilitate an environment of accessibility for students with disabilities to ensure they receive equal opportunity and access to education and campus activities at the University of Kentucky. The DRC consultants can meet with faculty one-on-one, by department, or by college to discuss specific or general topics related to the accommodation process. This may result in the student receiving accommodation letters, accommodated test-taking services, alternative text services, community resource linkage, captioning and interpreting services, service animal registration, temporary disability services, or transitional services into the workforce. 

Consultation services are also available to faculty to assist in answering specific questions regarding recommended accommodations, student issues, alternative text for class materials, creating an inclusive classroom environment for students with disabilities, and how to incorporate principles of universal design into the educational experience.

Contact the DRC at drc@uky.edu or 859-257-2754.
