[Athen] [EXT] Where does AT support live on your campus?

[Robert Beach]

Here, I am the Assistive Technology Specialist and I am housed in Student Accessibility and Support Services. I have known of colleges that housed this position in the technology department and that also seemed to work well for them.

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
