Equity of Access – Adaptive Technology:
An Example: SHU – Movie 2
by Frances S. Grodzinsky of Sacred Heart University

“While this adaptive technology lab has been well-received and has really provided a lot of services for students with disabilities, it still does not address the problem of what to do as we become more and more technologically driven – that is, for example – we have a laptop program at Sacred Heart where all freshmen are required to buy laptops and the question is… what accommodations are made for students with disabilities who could never use the laptop as it is given out to all the other, able-bodied students. The other situation that arises that’s problematic is when you have, for example, hands-on classes or collaborative learning groups via laptop and via communications software – whether students with disabilities will have an adaptive work station in each of these rooms so that they too can participate on an equal level with other students in the class.”
