Technology for Persons with Disabilities. An Introduction.
IBM, Atlanta, GA. National Support Center for Persons with Disabilities.
This paper contains an overview of technology, national support organizations, and IBM support available to persons with disabilities related to impairments affecting hearing, learning, mobility, speech or language, and vision. The information was obtained from the IBM National Support Center for Persons with Disabilities, which was created to help health care leaders, agency directors, policy makers, employers, educators, public officials, and individuals learn how technology can improve the quality of life for disabled persons in the school, the home, and the workplace. The paper is organized in three sections. The first section discusses disabilities by the areas of hearing, learning, mobility, speech or language, and vision. The second section profiles IBM support programs for persons with disabilities. Information is included on offerings and programs for persons with disabilities, research and development, a program to train disabled persons, corporate support programs, and the Information System for Advanced Academic Computing. The third section lists national support groups, describes their efforts, and provides addresses and telephone numbers for them. (KC)
