About Disability and Access and Disability Cultural Center

Based in the philosophy that all students should be assured equal access and opportunity, Disability and Access (D&A) works to eliminate physical, instructional and attitudinal barriers by providing reasonable accommodations and fostering awareness within the University community.

The Disability Cultural Center (DCC) supports disability community and education for disabled students, faculty, staff and alumni and all members of the University community. The first of its kind in Texas, the DCC works to create and sustain a sense of belonging for disabled people who study, teach and work at UT. In collaboration with campus partners, the DCC strives to create a community where disability is respected and valued as an important part of our campus community, and accessibility is built into the structure and design of all aspects of campus life.
