- Summary:
-
This brochure presents an overview of adaptive computing technology and how it can help people with disabilities participate more fully in society. It defines key terms (such as "disability" and "access barriers") and briefly summarizes provisions of major laws: the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Technology-Related Assistance Act, and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It then describes typical functional limitations of people with specific disabilities and suggests how adaptive computing technology can be useful. Examples cover the areas of visual impairments, speech impairments, mobility impairments, hearing impairments, and learning disability. The guide concludes with a list of resources for accessing electronic information and possible funding sources. (DB)
