Duke University faculty members play important roles in the lives of individuals with disabilities.
The Student Disability Access Office (SDAO) works closely with deans, staff, and faculty members in determining necessary reasonable classroom accommodations. Faculty members are encouraged to inform all students of the need to register with the Student Disability Access Office in order to seek consideration for reasonable accommodations.
SDAO has more information about academic accommodations and faculty members’ roles in implementing accommodations.
Faculty members with disabilities themselves may wish to meet informally with their Dean or Department Chair to work out an appropriate accommodation or contact the Coordinator of Employment and Public Reasonable Accommodation.
