The Center for Technology and Disability
Studies (CTDS) works to advance assistive technology (AT) and accessible
information systems to support individuals with disabilities in
accessing opportunities in education, their community, and employment.
CTDS is an interdisciplinary program that conducts research, education,
advocacy, and informatics projects related to AT and accessible
information systems.
An AT device is any item or piece of equipment
used to maintain or improve the functional capabilities of a person
with a disability. Many high and low-tech devices are now available
to assist people with disabilities with daily living tasks, communication,
education, work, and recreation. Examples include wheelchairs, computers,
assistive listening devices, magnification systems, and augmentative
communication devices. Accessible information systems include products
such as software applications, telecommunications, multi-media,
and closed products such as copies and fax machines, that are accessible
to individuals with disabilities.
