Anyone interested in applications of voice-recognition and 
voice-production technology should check this out; there may be some 
research opportunities behind the scenes.  Lise

Celebrating Improved Access to Information and Resources
For Students with Disabilities

To publicly celebrate its official opening in January of this year, the
University of Colorado Assistive Technology Lab (AT Lab) invites you to attend
an Open House.

When:     Thursday,  March 12th, 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Where:    Assistive Technology Lab, Willard 333

The AT Lab received personnel and administrative funding in the spring of 1997
by the President's Office under the "Total Learning Environment" initiative in
order to provide students with disabilities access to computer and electronic
resources.  Equipment and support was also provided through Student Computing
Initiative funds.

The Lab is equipped with a variety of adaptive devices including
speech-controlled computers, voice output systems (i.e. screen readers) for
individuals with visual impairments or dyslexia, screen enlargement software
and alternate keyboards for one-handed typists and for individuals with
mobility impairments.  The Lab is also a resource for faculty and other
individuals who want to learn more about assistive technology products and
applications.  Staff with an expertise in assistive technology are available to
provide training and support.

The Open House will provide an opportunity to learn about the resources in the
lab, meet the staff, and to try out various adaptive devices.  Refreshments
will be provided.  For more information contact the Lab at 303-492-8672,
492-8671 (TTY) or e-mail at hkramer@colorado.edu.
