This practical new guide is designed to help school officials put students and staff with disabilities on a "level playing field" with everyone else, in computer labs, in libraries, and in classrooms. Rather than merely focusing on specific types of hardware and software, the authors discuss how to set up the infrastructure necessary to provide technology and support. They cover computer access issues, as well as the use of computer-based compensatory tools - special adaptive technology designed to enable individuals with disabilities to participate more independently in the academic environment. The authors describe which services should be provided, how to plan them, and the types of equipment available to meet different needs. They also offer examples of seven model programs now in place in libraries and on university campuses. Additional resources on adaptive technology are listed in the appendixes

This book will serve as an excellent guide for college and university administrators, computer lab staff, librarians, disabled student services staff, and faculty members
