Author: Fichten, Catherine S.; Asuncion, Jennison V.; Barile, Maria
Abstract: "Results of an empirical study investigating the views and concerns about computer and adaptive computer
technologies of postsecondary disability service providers are presented. The study was carried out in both
French and English in the spring of 2000. Based on structured interviews with 156 Canadians who provide
disability related services to students, the responses represent an 80% participation rate. Key findings in the
following areas are highlighted: characteristics of postsecondary disability service providers; presence of
students with disabilities on campus, availability and accessibility of campus computers to students with
disabilities, important factors in meeting the computer related needs of students with disabilities, and the
presence and needs of postsecondary faculty and staff with disabilities. An extensive listing of useful
resources is provided and recommendations are made to guide decision making to ensure that Canadian
colleges and universities are technologically welcoming of the whole campus community." -- Provided by authors
