Service overview
The Digital Accessibility Program provides free consulting services for UW–Madison students, faculty, and staff in support areas such as disability and ableism awareness, digital accessibility prioritization, strategy, and content creation.
Making your digital resources accessible helps UW–Madison be a more inclusive, usable place for everyone. UW–Madison also follows a digital accessibility policy informed by federal law to provide technology and services that are accessible to all students, faculty, and staff. Accessible digital resources are usable by people with disabilities and/or who use assistive technology.
