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.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Hi, colleagues.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">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_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Thanks for any ideas,</p>
