Resources on IT (Information Technology)

Access to information technology, from telephones to computer software, is essential for people with disabilities to fully participate in today's high tech world. The increasing use of technology presents remarkable opportunities for people with disabilities. However, information technology presents new accessibility challenges to those who have sensory, mobility, learning, and other disabilities. If we do not address these challenges and assure that information technology can be used by everyone, the potential for the Internet and other technologies as a great equalizer will go unrealized. The new center (AccessIT at the University of Washington) develops and disseminates materials, training, and technical assistance that facilitate adoption of policies and practices leading to the increased use of accessible information technology in educational settings.
