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.
