The Virginia Tech 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 participants will experience:
•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.
