Computer Resources for People With Disabilities: A Guide to Assistive Technologies, Tools, and Resources for People of All Ages - Hardcover
Synopsis
Technology is continually redefining human potential. The newest hi-tech products offer significant opportunities to people with disabilities--to learn, to communicate, to create and be productive. First published in 1994, this book has become the guide for people with disabilities to choosing, buying, adapting, and using assistive technologies. This fourth edition is updated with the latest technology and reorganized to be more streamlined and accessible. It includes worksheets and tools for planning and decision-making; information specific to life situations that impact decisions; the Technology Toolbox -- over 100 pages of easy-to-use charts that describe current products; and a new keyword index. The Resources section offers over 80 pages of listings for national and international community organizations, print and online publications, and commercial resources for obtaining support, information, and specific products. The Alliance for Technology Access is a nationwide coalition of experts, mostly in community-based resource centers. They are dedicated to providing information and support services to children and adults with disabilities, and to increasing the use of standard and assistive technologies.
