Accessible Information Technology Group

The Accessible IT Group (AITG) promotes and supports the inclusion of students with disabilities in the information technology environment of the University of Illinois.  Just like curb cuts and ramps made it possible for students in wheelchairs to attend the university in the 1950s, IT accessibility is providing the pathways for everyone to maneuver the internet easily, including those with disabilities. The work of AITG includes collaborations with campus faculty, instructional developers, software developers, and more. Note: Links on this page open in a separate tab or browser window.
