Welcome to Rutgers Access and Disability Resources
Rutgers Access and Disability Resources is an institution-wide unit at Rutgers that works with all of the Offices of Disability Services (ODS) at every Rutgers University campus location to provide reasonable accommodations and services for students with disabilities. The RADR team members work closely with each student individually in order to develop an effective and comprehensive plan for appropriate services and reasonable accommodations.
RADR provides accommodations and services for courses that disabled students are enrolled which may include: accessible course materials/alternate formats; assistive technology; American Sign Language interpreting; Computer Aided Realtime Captioning; FM systems; closed captioning of videos and multimedia; and audio description of videos and multimedia.
We are dedicated to provide information and resources necessary to allow students to pursue their academic, personal, and professional goals while at Rutgers. It is our goal to aid in the development of our students in becoming responsible decision makers and self-advocates who are in charge of their own future through providing essential tools and supports.
In addition, we are dedicated to working with administrators, faculty, staff and students throughout the university community to promote and provide awareness of creating an inclusive environment for all individuals that will continue to contribute to Rutgers as a leading national public research university and the state’s preeminent, comprehensive public institution of higher education. We envision a campus community where all individuals are welcomed, valued, and encouraged to be contributing members.

Setting up ASL or CART in Zoom
Information for professors
In many cases, depending on how long your class is or the nature of the content matter, the student may be assigned multiple American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreters. These individuals utilize signs, facial expressions, and body postures to communicate to the student what is happening during your class. The student will sometimes also use this to communicate to you, through the ASL interpreter.
It is important to note, you should always talk directly to the student, and not their interpreter when communicating with the student.
