VIDEO REVIEW:

For many people with disabilities, assistive technology can be vital
for their independence, quality of life and effort to become
integrated into society. In the award-winning video "ENABLE: People
with Disabilities and Computers", you will meet a deaf-blind
university student, a business man paralyzed from the neck down, a
speech impaired person, and many other people with disabilities who
demonstrate how technology assists them in achieving their life goals
and allows them to fully participate in society.

Educators, disability professionals, caregivers, employers, and others
will be able to use this video in a variety of settings, from training
faculty, students and work site supervisors, to helping persons with
disabilities understand how technology can assist them.

The "Enable" video offers numerous profiles of individuals with
disabilities who have experienced how technology can enhance their
lives. The profiles cover a range of disabilities, including
blindness, speech, hearing and mobility impairments of various kinds,
stroke, and cerebral palsy.

Each of the individuals profiled describes his or her disability in a
personal, unique way, often emphasizing the liberating impact of
technology in all aspects of their lives, at work, at school and at
home. This video shows all kinds of adaptive technology, both hardware
and software.
