The Assistive Technologies department is proud to be demonstrating the benefits of assistive technologies (AT) for enhancing, maintaining, or increasing a person’s abilities by using computers for learning, teaching, working, recreation, and maintaining independence. With a focus on tools for people with disabilities, the AT department will explore:
• Using computers and special-purpose video magnifiers for visual magnification, color filtering, and contrast enhancements for people with visual difficulties,
• Assistive reading and literacy tools that use text-to-speech capabilities for people with learning, visual, or print disabilities,
• Voice recognition, touch screen, tablet pc, and/or adaptive input devices to assist people with difficulties in writing due to physical or learning disabilities, and
• Note taking aides and organizational tools for anyone in the classroom.
Besides looking at specialized AT applications, the AT department will be demonstrating existing accessibility options already built-in to computer operating systems and available to everyone.
