[Athen] staffing for technology accessibility

[Leyna Bencomo]

We have one AT specialist (me) on our campus. Although our web development team and faculty development team are very conscientious about including accessibility, there is no one else on campus that is focused on technology accessibility. As you might imagine, there needs to be at least one more full-time person, in my opinion.

So at Purchase College we have one Assistive Technology full-time person that works at the Office of Disabilities. Then you have me who works at the Campus Technology Services who serves as the unofficial AT person when they need help.

Last month the question was raised about how many staff members on your campus are focused on technology accessibility.  I only saw one response.  I am interested in the answer to this question also so would appreciate any information you can provide regarding staffing.

We currently have one full-time staff member and one 30% FTE.

Thank you.
