Making Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Accessible to Students 
with Disabilities
Four Hour-Long Web Conferences: June 8, 15, 22 and 29 all at 2 PM
Bringing state-of-the-art technical information to you over the Internet

The National Science Foundation has had a grant program for well over a 
decade encouraging
Projects to increase the participation of students with disabilities in 
these fields. These
disciplines have presented a number of difficult hurdles to access. 
However, several groups

and institutions have made really significant progress in transcending 
these barriers. This
presentation will have nationally-known leaders in these fields who will 
provide detailed and
concrete information on how to make courses in these fields accessible. 
Truly, the work of the
last decade has been exciting. Including these students in mainstream 
classes becomes easier
every year.

All 4 presentations will be moderated by Dick Banks and Norm Coombs from 
EASI (Equal
Access to Software and Information), and each will also have guest 
presenters: .
