The Adaptech Project Is Pleased To Announce A New Research Report
On Computer Technologies in Postsecondary Education
______________________________________________________

The report provides information about the findings of an investigation of
the needs and concerns of campus-based professionals who provide
disability-related supports and services to postsecondary students. It is a
companion to our landmark 1999 study where we investigated the computer
technology experiences of over 800 Canadian college and university students
with disabilities.

Topics include: accessibility of online distance education; level of
collaboration between these professionals and the instructional technology
community on campus; degree to which issues of access to instructional
technologies by persons with disabilities are addressed in faculty
professional development; and accountability for providing computer-related
supports to employees with disabilities on campus.

With an 80% participation rate among Canadian postsecondary institutions,
this study provides a comprehensive picture of on-campus technology
accessibility for persons with disabilities. An extensive set of
recommendations and resources completes the work.
