October 17th is the Assistive Technology Demo Day!
OSU Student Disability Services, in partnership with OSU Information Technology and Oklahoma AbleTech will be offering free training, directly from professional trainers provided by our partners in the industry. We're providing this training on the software packages we use as part of OSU's Disability Awareness Week.
This training is available to students, faculty, and staff of OSU and its branch campuses. In addition, members of the Community, Oklahoma A&M campuses, technology managers, and other interested parties are welcome to attend. We will also have demonstration CD's, free copies of the Microsoft Accessibility tooklit, hardware demonstrations, and product literature available for you to take. Space is limited, so mark your calendars and sign-up now!
Our schedule for the day is as follows:
- 8:30 A.M. to 10:30 A.M. - JAWS (screen reading for blindness or low-vision)
- 10:45 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. - OpenBook (scanning and reading for blind or low-vision)
