[Athen] Accessibility Centers

[Gaeir Dietrich]

DO-IT was started with a federal grant, and the HTCTU was started as a partnership between the California State Vocational Rehabilitation Dept. and the California Community Colleges. Once the grant ran out for the HTCTU, costs were picked up by the CCC Chancellor’s Office.

Hi -

I have a dream of a statewide or at least a college-wide accessibility center where: 

*	faculty can get training on accessible course content creation, 
*	end user testing of dynamic products and tools can be done, 
*	and hosting of special projects like Subject area accessibility studies can be managed.

Our director has asked if there are other centers like this that I know of. I know of the High Tech Center in California and DO-It at Univ. of WA, but are there others? How did these and others get started? Who runs them? 

Thanks everyone! 

Best,

Karen
