Digital Accessibility Liaisons (DALs) are designated team members within each school, college, or unit at UGA who serve as the primary point of contact for digital accessibility. DALs work alongside UGA’s Digital Accessibility Services (DASH) team to support compliance efforts, connect their colleagues with training and resources, and help build sustainable accessibility practices across campus.
Each DAL follows a training path based on their role and responsibilities. These paths include Primary DAL (the unit’s lead accessibility coordinator), Communications/Web, IT/Technical, and Instructional Design/Academic Technology.
If your unit is not listed, or if you have questions, please contact the DASH team.
