Our project is dedicated to working with other PT3 Catalyst and Implementation grantees, as well as existing professional and governmental networks, to integrate and apply knowledge of Web accessibility, assistive technology, specialized software, and universally designed curriculum. Our mission is to develop and promote the use of educational technology that enables all individuals to lead full and independent lives. We seek to advance this mission by providing leadership, advocacy, training, technical assistance, and research. Individuals with disabilities include students with learning disabilities.
Web pages can be both visually appealing and fully accessible to users with print disabilities.
To enable individuals with disabilities to achieve independence and productivity, assistive technology services provide assistance with the selection and training of assistive technology devices and software. It is important to note that appropriate assistive technology is unique for each consumer and is achieved through comprehensive, flexible, and logical problem solving. A student who has difficulty with short-term memory uses a tape recorder to make reminder notes. A student who has a speech disability uses an augmentative communication device to communicate with the teacher and classmates. An athlete who is blind uses a beeping basketball to play a team sport.
