Assistive technology: meeting the technology needs of students with disabilities in post-secondary education [EIP 99/6]
This report explores assistive technology (AT) used by students with disabilities in post-secondary education.
Abstract
The report identifies issues surrounding the use of AT which exist for students, university and TAFE staff including Disability Liaison Officers (DLOs) and Information Technology Services Staff. It investigates the AT-related needs of students with disabilities and the barriers to provision of AT to tertiary students with disabilities. The report also identifies useful AT for students with specific disabilities, and current examples of effective and cost-efficient strategies related to the use of AT in support of tertiary students. This research was funded under the Evaluations and Investigations Programme (EIP).
