Welcome to the Disability Resource Center
Welcome to the Disability Resource Center. We strive to provide quality services to students with physical, learning, sensory or psychological disabilities, to educate them about their legal rights and responsibilities so that they can make informed decisions, and to foster a sense of empowerment so that they can engage in critical thinking and self-determination.
Whether visiting our webpages as a prospective student, a current student, a family member, or a faculty member supporting a student with a disability, the Disability Resource Center hopes that the information contained on our webpages provides insight about our dedication to provide the best services and support possible. Please contact our office at 352-392-8565, fax us at 352-392-8570, contact us via e-mail at accessuf@dso.ufl.edu, or stop by our office at 0001 Building 0020 (Reid Hall) if you have any questions or concerns.
