Sign Language Interpreting or Live Professional Captioning (CART) Coordinated through the McBurney Disability Resource Center
On this page:
Interpreting and Captioning for All of UW–Madison
The McBurney Disability Resource Center coordinates sign language interpreting and live, professional captioning (CART) services for UW–Madison. Services can be provided for the following:
- Students, staff, faculty, visitors, guests, and program participants at UW–Madison events
- Disability-related accommodation requests and public access requests
- Onsite and remote requests across UW–Madison functions
- UW–Madison job applicants
Coordinating these services is a collaborative process involving the event host, the McBurney Center, and the participant or presenter requesting the accommodation.
Please provide information about your request as soon as you have a date and time, as coordinating requests and communication will take time. All requests are subject to Interpreter and CART caption provider availability, particularly requests made with short notice.
