Since 2007, the Center for Educational Access has expanded to serve equally in direct support for students with disabilities, as a training and educational resource for the University community as a whole, and as a consultant for the institution’s technological infrastructure, in order to maximize the accessibility of all programs, services, and activities offered at the University of Arkansas.
