NEW BOOK DESCRIBES HOW TO ADAPT PERSONAL COMPUTERS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH
DISABILITIES

"ADAPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES FOR LEARNING AND WORK ENVIRONMENTS"
SECOND EDITION
BY JOSEPH J. LAZZARO

“Adaptive Technologies for Learning and Work Environments” by Joseph J.
Lazzaro is a 232 page comprehensive guide that describes how to adapt
personal computers for persons with disabilities using a wide variety of
adaptive technologies. The book teaches you how to select, install, and
support adaptive technology for persons with sensory, physical, and learning
related disabilities; and spotlights over 250 assistive hardware and
software products for Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX computer platforms. The
book details the latest hardware and software for making information
technology accessible for all, and covers desktop, notebook, and palmtop
computer platforms. “Adaptive Technologies for Learning and Work
Environments” helps you identify the most appropriate assistive technology
for persons with visual, hearing, motor, speech, and learning disabilities.
An entire chapter is devoted to public and private sector funding sources,
and extensive appendices are packed with resources to help you locate
agencies and organizations that support adaptive technology. New to this
edition are entire chapters on keyboard commands, built-in accessibility
utilities, and internet/intranet accessibility. A detailed chapter uncovers
the secrets of pc hardware, software, and peripherals, showing you the
fundamental concepts that you'll need to know in order to master the many
different forms of adaptive equipment.  The book spotlights hundreds of
adaptive products: screen readers, screen magnification software, Braille
printers and displays, scanners, voice command and dictation systems,
alternative input systems, text telephones, on screen keyboards, alternative
communication systems, word predictors, and other solutions. This
indispensable reference will give you expert guidance on the many forms of
adaptive technology, and how to deploy it successfully!

An accessible HTML version of the book on CD-ROM is available separately to
support users with disabilities. The CD-ROM is readable with any standard
browser that supports HTML files.
