Computer Access: In our Own Words
University of Washington students who have disabilities describe how their abilities are improved by using technology. Students give testimony about the technology they use and are shown using that technology. Independence is fostered, and the students feel that they are on a more level playing field with their “non-disabled” peers through the electronic media. The film is close captioned, and students are identified in parentheses as they speak. There are 10 segments: Introduction, Low Vision, Blindness, Hearing Impairment; Speech Impairment; Learning Disabilities; Mobility Impairment; & Health Impairment; Recap and concluding graphic information about the web site and the grant that funds the Do-It project and film.
This video was produced by University of Washington, Project DO-IT, directed by Sheryl Burstahler, PH.D.
