Students at the University of Louisville can make a difference in their community by raising awareness and understanding for their peers with disabilities.
U of L offers a safe space to individuals with disabilities, providing services through the Disability Resource Center (DRC) to accommodate their needs.
According to the DRC’s website, the organization is designed to help students with documented disabilities and to promote equal access for all students.
Services that the center provides include supplemental note-taking, exam accommodations, adaptive equipment and alternative textbooks.
The DRC is also providing a peer coaching program for disabled students to learn about U of L’s accommodations and accessing resources like Blackboard, ULink, course syllabi and requesting accommodations.
