Digital Accessibility
Ensuring that content is accessible is an important part of class preparation and teaching, and Academic Technology is here to help. The University's Accessibility Policy can be found on the Digital Accessibility Services (DAS) website. Please feel welcone to reach out to us (atg@fas.harvard.edu) or to DAS (digitalaccessibility@harvard.edu) with questions or concerns.

Several offices and groups at Harvard exist to support the University's implementation of its accessibility policies.
- The Office of Digital Accessibility Services (DAS) provides helpful guides for identifying and avoiding barriers to accessibility, as well as both live and self-paced trainings to familiarize yourself with accessibility.
- Digital Accessibility Liasions (DAL) are assigned at each of Harvard's schools and divisions to manage local accessibility efforts. You can locate and connect with your DAL by referencing this list of contacts.
- Harvard University Disability Resources (UDR) is the central office for accessibility and disability at Harvard University. UDR manages the Assistive Technology Library and Lab, through which you can request assistive software or hardware, and the Assistive Technology Center, where you can learn about alternative formats for digital content.
