The new Accessibility Services Adaptive Technology Lab (the Lab) aims to assist students registered with Accessibility Services. It contains specialized software, computers, assistive devices, and study space.
Adaptive technology promotes greater independence for people in their learning and working environments. Based on your needs, we offer information and the opportunity for exposure to adaptive technology that may enhance your post-secondary experience.
If you are registered with Accessibility Services, you can use the Lab to:
- Access the Lab equipped with technology
- Determine through self-directed exploration whether technology may enhance your learning
- Utilize online information and demos for use and application
- Access resources on specialized software
