Who trains the adaptive technology trainer?

While computers are becoming more pervasive in schools and colleges, staff
support for computer training is being reduced.  This leaves anyone
responsible to train students on the use of adaptive technology in the
lurch.  EASI's Train the Trainer online course can help.

The text for the course is Joseph Lazzaro's book: "Adaptive Technologies
for Learning and Work Environments" published by ALA.  It is a guide
describing how to adapt Windows-based personal computers for individuals
with disabilities. The book includes detailed explainations of numerous
adaptive hardware and software systems to assist persons
with disabilities, and spotlights over 250 products and vendors.

Read the book, and you will want to study under Joe who is the instructor
for this EASI course. The course begins Oct. 7.  Syllabus and registration
are available online at:

This course can be taken for continuing education units.  Five of EASI's
courses will earn the Certificate in Accessible Information Technology.

EASI is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide colleges,
universities and others with know-how in making their computer and
information technology systems accessible.
