Student Services
To receive assistive technology services, students need to first have a Welcome Meeting with an Accessibility Counselor. The Accessibility Services website has more information on how to schedule the Welcome Meeting. During the Welcome Meeting, the Accessibility Counselor and student will explore potential accommodations and make a referral to the Assistive Technology Office if needed.
The Assistive Technology Office will then contact the student for an AT Assessment. During the AT Assessment, the AT Coordinator will get to know the student and help identify what technology would be the best match for them. The AT Assessment usually lasts up to one hour and can be done via Zoom or in-person. After the AT Assessment, students can receive ongoing training and support for the assistive technology from the ATO team. Our Technology page has more information about what types of tools ATO has available.
Faculty & Staff Services:
To receive assistive technology services, faculty and staff need to first submit a workplace accommodation request through Human Resources. Human Resources will process the request and then contact the Assistive Technology Office if AT support is needed. Please visit the Human Resources webpage on accommodations to learn more about this process.Our Team
