Accessibility and Disability

The Council collaborates with Kentucky postsecondary institutions to ensure that postsecondary education is available and accessible to all students.

• Kentucky Accessible Information Technology Statute (KRS 164.376) - Housing and security policy for safe residence facilities for students with a disability
• Kentucky Postsecondary Textbook Accessibility Act (KRS 164.477) ensures that all postsecondary students in Kentucky with a disability requiring reading accommodations have access to instructional materials in alternative formats that are appropriate to their disability and educational needs.

• Guidelines for Policies on Students with Disabilities
• Project GOALS (Gaining Online Accessible Learning through Self-Study) provides materials that will aid educational institutions in making their web content accessible.
• Section508.gov offers resources for understanding and implementing the requirements of Section 508.
• Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) provides guidelines, materials, and resources widely regarded as the international standard for Web accessibility.
