Good point Ron - but the CAST book is a nice primer for the uninitiated.

The only comment I would make on Dann's list is the UD book by Rose,
CAST has only recently moved into the Postsecondary arena, and this book
reflects a very k-12 orientation.    If you want UD materials with an
adult perspective I would recommend the writings of Sally Scott, or any
of the materials available from the UD program at UCONN.

Here is my list of favorites:
http://www.bu.edu/disability/resources/adaptive.html

I also maintain lists of information and resources at the ATHEN blog
site:

And at my personal blog:
http://bloggertation.blogspot.com/ (left column)

I agree with Ron's book choices and add these:

Lazzaro, Joseph (2001). Adaptive Technologies for Learning and Work
Environments, 2nd edition. ALA Press - 0-8389-0804-7

Rose, David H. and Meyer, Anne (2002). Teaching Every Student in the
Digital Age: Universal Design for Learning. ASCD Press - 0-87120-599-8

The manuals for every bit at Access technology at your disposal.

Call me if you need any assistance - I'm just over the river :-)
