|
Minimum standards for adapted work stations:
- Work surface at least 30" from floor
- Clearance of 29" beneath the top to a depth of at least 20"
- Minimum width of 36" to allow leg space for seated individual
- Utility and equipment controls located within easy reach
- Clear aisle width sufficient to maneuver a wheelchair, recommend 5' diameter
Assistive Technology Software (install on all computers in lab, no additional cost):
Minimum number of hardware accessible computer stations:
Due to the cost of deploying extra hardware, it is not recommended at this time for a department to deploy adaptive accessories and peripheral hardware on every computer in every lab. Therefore, the number of workstations that should be configured with these options are as follows:
- Less than 25 stations - 1 accessible station
- 25-50 stations - 2 accessible stations
- 50-75 stations - 3 accessible stations
- More than 75 stations - 5% of total number of stations should be accessible
Accessible Hardware Configuration:
Optional Recommended Components:
Recommended Standard Applications and Configuration:
Please see the Assistive Technology Installation Guide for more information about configuring each of these items to provide the greatest degree of accessibility.
