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. </div>

<p class="x_xmsonormal">Hi, colleagues.</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">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?</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">Thanks for any ideas,</p>
