Assistive Technologies

Assistive technology is used to describe devices and services that lessen or remove barriers faced by persons with disabilities. Many types of assistive technology are available on computers to assist in reading information, keyboarding, etc.

Each semester students should work with Disability Services for Students (DSS) to identify specific accommodations based on current academic courses and update a DSS verification document and contact professors to finalize arrangements for those accommodations.
