  Subject: Freedom Machines/PBS Presentation on Assistive Technology


  "Freedom Machines" takes a new look at disability through the lens of
assistive technology. The experiences of a group of unforgettable people let
us re-examine ideas about ability and disability grounded in our culture and
attitudes.
