Assistive Technology

Welcome to 91³Ô¹Ï’s Assistive Technology (AT) Office! This office provides a host of services to include CART captioning, note taking services, and access to assistive technology. Assistive Technology is any item, piece of equipment, software program, or product system used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of persons with disabilities. Accommodations and Accessibility Services can train students on how to use technology to meet the academic demands of college life.

Students seeking assistive technology services may need to complete the accommodation process prior to receiving support from the AT Coordinator. Faculty and staff seeking support with implementing AT accommodations in the classroom and testing environments should contact the AT Coordinator.

Students, faculty, staff, and visitors can request CART captions for a one-time event using the one-time event request form.
