Accessible Furniture

Accessible Furniture in Classrooms is an accommodation approved by our office so that students with disabilities can have equal access to classroom spaces and furniture.

Examples of accessible furniture that can be placed on your behalf:

• Separate desk with chair in lieu of tablet arm chairs
• Large tablet arm chairs
• Wheel chair accessible adjustable desks
• Soft seated chair
• Stools

The type of furniture that can be placed is not limited to the above list. Contact us to discuss your needs and we will work with you to find furniture suitable to accommodate you.

If you have been approved for classroom furniture as an accommodation, AAS will work with campus facilities to arrange for furniture placement. It is important that you make your request as soon as possible by filling out our online Furniture Request form.

Please only complete this form if you are taking in-person or hybrid classes and would like our office to request that your furniture be placed. Upon completion and submission of this form, you will receive an email confirmation that we are working on your request. We will then contact you once the furniture has been placed.

Please also report any changes to your schedule, room assignment or issues with the furniture placed to laura.armour@kbcc.cuny.edu
