Note EASI's Two Courses for September:



Building Ramps Instead of Creating Barriers

EASI's two online month-long, instructor-led courses starting September
6 will assist you with your goal of providing a level learning space
for your students with disabilities.  EASI's courses have reached over
5,000 people in more than 40 countries since 1993.

Barrier-free Information Technology is based on the statement by the
Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Education that providing
support for the technology needs of students with disabilities is a
campus-wide obligation.  It requires a campus-wide commitment.  This
course will provide the background to guide you in reaching the goal of
providing an accessible Information technology system:

Learning Disabilities and Accessible Information Technology deals with
the largest and fastest-growing segment of the disability student
population.  Students with various types of LD benefit from time and
work management, but they also can benefit from the integration of
specialized adaptive computer technology into their study:
