The DS works across Trinity College Dublin to provide support and accommodations related to disability for Trinity students and staff. Most cases in which you need a concrete outcome or accommodation from Trinity due to disability or illness involve the DS. If your disability will involve getting accommodations from Trinity it is worthwhile to reach out to the DS as early as possible. Visit the Trinity disAbility Service website (opens in a new tab).

Need an accommodation? The disAbility Service (DS) engages in an interactive process with each student to determine appropriate accommodations.

Trinity Accessibility and Sustainability Event Generator

The Accessibility and Sustainability Event Generator is designed to provide clear and concise access information for events. Having clear information is very important for an event to be as sustainable, accessible, and inclusive as possible, and ensuring that physical and digital spaces are accessible to everyone. No event is truly accessible without the information to say that it is. Ensuring that events are fully accessible is crucial for inclusivity. Fostering a sense of belonging in events ensures success for all. Visit the Accessibility and Sustainability Event Generator webpage (opens in a new tab).

Trinity College Botanic Garden – Sensory Trail

The Sensory Trail was the work of one Trinity student’s summer internship project at Trinity College Botanic Garden to create a guide to some of the Garden’s sensory elements for the benefit and well-being of students and staff. The trail currently has 18 ‘stops’: locations, plants and aspects at which to pause, observe and tune in to the different sensory elements of each. The locations of the 18 Sensory Trail stops are set on a interactive map and each has a descriptive text and audio guide. Visitors are invited to explore as many or few of the stops as they wish and in any order.
