Technology Access

The ATC will develop, support, and facilitate a technology access project that recognizes:

• A single point of contact where students, faculty and staff can receive assistance.
• A process for establishing access, assessment, evaluation, and accommodation.
• The development of AT proposals and recommendations to the Commission and university administration.

The WSU Technology Access Project is guided by the following principles:

• Facilities and technology systems at Washington State University are to be designed to accommodate people with the widest range of abilities and disabilities.
• Individuals using campus facilities and technology systems may have learning disabilities; visual, speech, hearing, mobility impairments and other disabilities that must be accommodated.
• Adaptive equipment is provided to accommodate the majority of disabilities, and procedures have been developed to meet special requests in a timely and efficient manner.
• Accessibility at Washington State University is an ongoing commitment, and it is through the cooperative effort of the entire campus community that we will reach the goal of universal access.

The Technology Access Project is a campus resource for meeting the technology access needs of students, faculty, and staff with disabilities.

Access Project Services

Individualized evaluations are conducted (by DRC, HRS, St Lukes, Voc. Rehab., etc.) to identify those adaptive products and technologies that will best facilitate the needs of individuals with disabilities. Individualized training can be provided to maximize the use of the recommended accommodations.

Campus Resources

WSU has a variety of resources for those interested in learning more about adaptive technology. Training can be provided to faculty, staff, and students on the issues and benefits of adaptive technology.
