Telework Platforms and Solutions through the Assistive Software Knowledgebase (ASK)

Date/Location:

October 14, 2020, Webinar

Description:

Learn about the Assistive Software Knowledgebase, a new resource that the Center for Inclusive Design & Innovation (CIDI) is developing to help people make informed choices about selecting, acquiring and using specialized computer software in the workplace! As we adjust to a world with COVID-19, many employees find themselves working from home. Employees find themselves dealing with new technology and methods of communication. Unfortunately, some of these changes pose barriers to people with various disabilities. Join us for a discussion of the problems and potential solutions to using teleworking software (e.g., Zoom, MS Teams). This session will introduce CIDI’s Telework Platforms Accessibility Matrix, which is being developed by Georgia Tools for Life and the NIDILRR-funded Assistive Software Knowledgebase project.

Speakers:

Karen Milchus, M.S.

Ciara Montes

Learning Outcomes:

Participants will be able to identify at least three (3) disability-related problems and potential accommodations for using IT when teleworking.

Participants will be able to identify at least three (3) general teleworking software features that might benefit employees with disabilities.

Participants will be able to identify at least three (3) accessibility features/configurations to look for when selecting and using teleworking software.

Participants will be able to find this type of information by successfully navigating the Assistive Software Knowledgebase and the Telework Platforms Accessibility Matrix.
