Accessible Technology Online Webinar Series


Accessible Technology Webinar Series

Accessible technology is technology that can be used by people with a wide range of abilities and disabilities. It incorporates the principles of universal design. Each user is able to interact with the technology in ways that work best for him or her. Accessible technology is either directly accessible -in other words, it is usable without assistive technology -or it is compatible with standard assistive technology. Just as buildings that have ramps and elevators are accessible to wheelchair users, products that adhere to accessible design principles are usable by people with a wide range of abilities and disabilities.

The purpose of the Accessible Technology Webinar Series is to build to provide your organization with the professional development opportunity and ability to promote full and unrestricted participation in society for persons with disabilities through the promotion of technology that is accessible to all.

The Webinar series uses an accessible online conferencing tool. Please contact our ADA Conferences Coordinator to request captioning or additional accommodations.
