Planning to purchase or use freely available software for department, college, or university purposes? Then you need to review that software to make sure it is accessible for all students, faculty, or staff that will be using it.
Ball State’s Software Accessibility Review Process outlines what you need to do and how to submit your results for review.
Digital Accessibility Services (DAS) provides disability-related technology support to students, staff, and faculty on campus. If a disability limits your full access to your computer or course materials, we have something to help! We offer audio textbooks as well as a suite of programs to help with reading and optimizing your study time. Our goal is to give students with disabilities an equitable educational experience by providing supports that eliminate barriers and empower access.
