To those who work with individuals who have sensory impairments:

DO-IT has created training materials on making science and computer technology 
accessible to individuals with sensory impairments. They are designed for 
individual as well as large-group presentations. They include DVDs and handouts 
from the Alliance for Access to Science, Technology, Engineering, and 
Mathematics (AccessSTEM) and the Alliance for Access to Computing Careers 
(AccessComputing) at the University of Washington in Seattle. The development 
and distribution of these materials is funded by the National Science 
Foundation (NSF Cooperative Agreement #0227995 and grant #CNS-0540615.

Most of these materials are also available on the DO-IT website at 
http://www.washington.edu/doit. At this location you will also find a Knowledge 
Base of questions and answers, case studies, and promising practices. Select 
the "Search DO-IT Knowledge Base" link on the vertical bar on the left side of 
the DO-IT home page.

Note that the DVDs include talking menus to assure that they can be operated by 
individuals who are blind. In addition, all of the video presentations on the 
DVDs are open captioned and an audio described version of each is included.

We have some copies of these products that we are willing to send to those who 
request them. If you would like the materials to be sent to you and/or if you 
would like printed materials in alternate format, please let me know.

Sincerely,
Sheryl Burgstahler
