with disabilities.

Computer and Information Technology is rapidly becoming integral to most
courses whether public school, college or business training. On one hand,
this holds the promise of enhanced independence for people with
disabilities. On the other hand, depending on the design of the particular
applications being used, it threatens to create needless barriers. Today's
distributed computer environment means that providing support for the
technology needs of people with disabilities is an institution-wide
responsibility. It requires extensive planning and cooperation across
several departments. This course is designed to provide the broad knowledge of
technology, the law and of technological and pedigogical needs to
facilitate such institutional planning.
