Description:

This webinar will provide a comprehensive introduction to assistive technology devices that support computer access for individuals with physical disabilities. As digital tools become increasingly essential in today’s workplace, the ability to navigate and operate a computer independently can play a critical role in securing and maintaining employment. This session will highlight a range of assistive technologies—from voice recognition software and alternative input devices to eye-tracking systems and adaptive keyboards. Perspectives from users with disabilities will also be discussed. Overall, participants will gain an understanding of how these tools can help overcome common barriers to computer use, enabling more effective communication, task management, and professional engagement.
