Rohit and Listmembers,
Further to a previous post requesting information about assistive technology…
The US Department of Education publishes a number free resources on assistive technology for individuals with disabilities. My organization, the Orthotic and Prosthetic Assistance Fund, will be making two of these available to volunteers who participate in our new community program, an initiative made possible through our partnership with the Hospital Volunteer Program of the DC Jewish Community Center’s (DCJCC) Morris Cafritz Center for Community Service:
Assistive Technology Program: Ensuring Equal Access Through the Appropriate Use of Technology. This publication describes the U.S. Department of Education’s (ED’s) Assistive Technology program. This brochure states the support services provided by the Office of the Chief Information Officer to ED managers and supervisors who need to determine how technology can be used to meet the reasonable accommodation needs of employees with disabilities.
Assistive Technology: Meeting the Needs of Adults with Learning Disabilities. This publication describes tools and technologies that have been designed or adapted to help improve the functional capabilities of disabled people. This guide discusses the various technologies that are currently available and how to choose the right technologies for you.
You can order these and other materials directly from the DOE at http://www.ed.gov/about/ordering.jsp (Phone:1-877-4-ED-PUBS)
I hope this information is helpful.
Best wishes,
Jeff Reznick
