UIC Accessibility Liaisons

What is the Accessibility Liaison program?

Navy blue background with icons of an eye, wheelchair, laptop, people, volume indicator and a magnifying glass.

The Accessibility Liaison Program strengthens UIC’s commitment to digital accessibility and inclusion. It bridges the university’s ICT Accessibility Policy with Technology Solutions’ initiatives, cross-unit collaborations, and evolving higher education accessibility standards to address upcoming ADA Title II changes.

Accessibility Liaisons play a key role in fostering an inclusive environment by developing accessibility plans, improving digital accessibility, and serving as their unit’s primary contact.
