[Athen] [External] Re: Where does AT support live on your campus?

[Wershing, Alice D.]

Hello,
AT support for students who are registered with Disability Services is housed in Disability Services at Pellissippi State.  For employees, we are often referred to when the institution is looking at specific assistive technology for an employee.   The licenses for Assistive Technology are housed in Disability Services.  We have an Assistive Technology Trainer as a contract employee who is blind, has a computer science Associates degree and specifically trains students (and myself) on assistive technology for blind users.

AT support at Mason lives under the Assistive Technology Initiative (ATI), which is under the Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Disability Services refers students with disabilities in need of technology accommodations. The ADA Coordinator (ATI is a direct report) refers employees and visitors with disabilities. Those referrals are processed by either our Assistive Technology Specialist (primarily students) or myself (primarily employees and visitors).



Best,



Korey Singleton, ATI Manager

AT support lives within Accessible Technology Services (ATS) which is within the central computing organization at the University of Washington (UW). Within this role as part of the IT Accessibility Team (managed by Terrill Thompson) is our Access Technology Showroom and consultation center (Managed by Dan Comden who reports to Terrill). Disability Resources for Students provide AT recommendations to students they work with, referring them as appropriate to the Showroom and its consultants as appropriate (as does our Disability Services office that supports faculty, students, staff and visitors with disabilities). We also all work toward the goal of the accessible design of IT the UW procures, develops, and uses and the UW to minimize the need for accommodations.

Hi, colleagues.



I hope you are doing well. My institution is discussing where assistive technology support should live. This role would help faculty and staff who need guidance using assistive technology. Student AT users work with our office of disability services, but supporting fac/staff needs is outside the scope of that area.  Do you have a staff member who does this full-time or as part of their duties? Where is that responsibility housed on your campus?



Thanks for any ideas,

Rachel
