The tenth anniversary edition of Information Technology and Disabilities
includes an article tracing the history of EASI.  We are proud of our years
of work and especially proud of this article written by Sheryl Burgstahler.
 We hope others will find it interesting:

The entire anniversary issue is at
http://www.rit.edu/~easi/itd/itdv10n1/contents.htm

We are proud of the testimonials included in the history.  Two are copied
below:

I have taken six of the EASI courses ... I have learned so much about
adaptive/assistive technology, which has given me the confidence to... pass
on accessibility information in any venue I can-for example I belong to a
Web Enthusiasts Association and have given them numerous links for ways in
which they can make their websites accessible.

Since first subscribing to the EASI list almost three years ago, I have
sought and received some very helpful and worthwhile support, suggestions
and resources which, in my capacity as an education adviser in assistive
technology, have been of benefit not only to me but to many teachers and
students whom I support. For example, I needed information on math, science
and graphing for blind students, an area in which I have very little
expertise; the
contacts gained and the information generously imparted were most welcome.

EASI's September online courses are now rescheduled to start on Monday
September 13:
