Excuse the repost. Trying to clean up the original email. Hard to read. I'm working to add a component to a current class where I introduce basic technology tools to 1st semester MLS students. What adaptive/assistive technologies do you have available for use in your library? I'm not looking for things you have available that teachers may check out for classroom use. I'd like to compose a list of adaptive/assistive technologies that are in actual use in your library. Assistive or Adaptive Technology commonly refers to "...products, devices or equipment, whether acquired commercially, modified or customized, that are used to maintain, increase or improve the functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities..." Assistive Technology Act of 1998. http://www.rehabtool.com/at.html This site recommends sorting adaptive/assistive technologies into categories. I'm including all categories suggested by this site, but realize that some of the areas may not reflect needs of the library. Please respond using this template if you have an item to contribute to the list. Thanks in advance. I will post a hit.
