Accessibility in Education
Thursday, September 23 2010 9:00AM to 12:00PM
Join Brett Gross, Sr Systems Engineer for Apple Inc. for a workshop on accessibility and assistive technologies in Education.

This session will explore the array of built-in accessibility solutions available in a range of Apple products. You'll learn how these features can be used to address the needs of those with sensory, learning and other disabilities, and how they can be combined to create truly personalized solutions for those with special needs. For the first half of the session we'll look at features of the Mac running Mac OS X version 10.6 "Snow Leopard" including VoiceOver, the screen access software for the blind built into every Mac. And in the second half, we'll focus on the Accessibility features of the iPod touch and iPad as well as 3rd party applications to reach a wide array of learners.

Who Should Attend?
Campus leadership, Deans, Instructors, faculty and staff interested in issues related to accessibility and assistive technologies.
