Discussing disabilities and how people live, work, and thrive with them.

The CVAA makes sure that accessibility laws enacted in the 1980s and 1990s are brought up to date with 21st century technologies, including new digital, broadband, and mobile innovations. 

The University of Virginia is committed to ensuring that all of its services, programs, and activities are accessible to individuals with disabilities. To that end, the University’s ADA Coordinator has developed these Procedures to ensure that third parties with disabilities, including visitors to the University, know what steps to follow should they need to request reasonable accommodations.

Accessibility Allies are individuals (students, faculty, and staff) who take an intentional role in promoting disability awareness and inclusion on Grounds by learning about the history of disability civil rights, the resources available on Grounds, and disability inclusive and respectful communication.

You can request for your team, group, or department to participate in the Office for Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights (EOCR's) Disability Awareness Presentation by contacting us at [email protected].

Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services are coordinated by the Student Disability Access Center (SDAC).
