3 Assistive Technology and Accessibility Centers
Equal access and inclusive environments
Making sure IT resources are truly available to all
Indiana University is committed to supporting an inclusive and accessible environment across all campuses. This especially includes information technology. With about 20 percent of college-age students reporting a disability, the need is clear.
The UITS Assistive Technology and Accessibility Centers (ATAC) bolster this commitment by making sure students, faculty, and staff with disabilities can take advantage of our IT resources equitably. The ATAC partners with campus disability services to offer assistive technology and IT accessibility consultations, presentations, training, and support.
ATAC’s diverse range of services, resources, and support are available to all students, faculty, and staff on all IU campuses. Those services include:
- Alternative media formats for textbooks
- Assistive technology hardware and software support
- Course accessibility consultations
- Presentation and training on accessibility best practices
For faculty, ATAC consultants help with:
- Assessing existing courses for accessibility concerns
- Developing remediation plans, including timelines
- Coordinating resources for materials remediation, including text, audio, and video
- Implementing accommodations requests received from the campus disability services offices
