Ready. Willing. Able?
The Disability Advocate Programs takes partners on campus who are ready and willing and provides them with knowledge, tools, and skills to be able to work more effectively and confidently with people with disabilities. The Disability Advocate program promotes understanding and awareness about disabilities in order to create a more inclusive environment for people with disabilities at the University of Texas at Austin.
