Programs & Facilities Accessibility


 

image title: Protecting Students: Disability Discrimination OCR works with recipients to ensure that persons with disabilities have physical access to the programs, and facilities of schools, colleges, and universities. Sections of old buildings may need to be renovated and new buildings properly constructed so that individuals with disabilities, including persons who use wheelchairs, can, among other things, enter and navigate, use facilities in, and park near the buildings.
