Harvard University explores requests for reasonable accommodations from individuals with disabilities. We encourage that you build accessibility in on the front-end, in both practice and budget planning, as you would catering, AV or other event needs. Please find below a listing of vendors that may be useful in your office’s exploration of an individual’s reasonable accommodation request.
Note that it is the responsibility of each individual school, department or event sponsor to be responsive to all requests as well as to pay for the cost of the accommodations provided to an individual/general audience at their event or program. No cost is passed onto the requesting individual and cost should not be a factor when deciding whether or not to accommodate.
For further questions or consultation during this process, our office may be reached at disabilityresources@harvard.edu.
