Welcome to the Disability Resource Center’s (DRC) faculty resource pages. As an NIU faculty member, you play a very important role in promoting access for students with disabilities. Students are encouraged to work with faculty to ensure they have accommodations needed to provide equal access to their education.
During the fall and spring semesters, the DRC serves over 1,500 students with various disabilities, including, but not limited to: students with learning disabilities, visual disabilities, hearing disabilities, physical disabilities, mental health disabilities, and other related disabilities. Accommodations are provided to students on a case-by-case basis.
NIU faculty and staff should utilize this website to gain more knowledge about working with students with disabilities. DRC staff members are available to faculty and staff for consultation and presentations on disability-related topics.
