Disability Resources Guide

This guide provides information on resources and events available at FAU for disability services.

Discover Disability Resources at FAU

Welcome!

This resource guide is designed to help anyone whose life is touched by disabilities: students, veterans, seniors, families and friends. Often there are no central locations for this information!

Florida Atlantic University has many services and organizations whose mission it is to serve the disabled. We suggest you start with the Student Accessibility Services office. You can also find information on our website about FAU Libraries ADA Services including physical accessibility, and assistive and adaptive technologies.

Nationally and in our state of Florida there are also organizations, both private and public, who serve the needs of the disabled.

Some online resources for FAU Libraries are provided by the vendor EBSCOhost; here is their information for eBook accessibility, tips, and tricks.
