ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½¿ª½±

ÀÏ°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¹Ù·½¿ª½± has a wide variety of assistive technology for use by our students in classrooms, testing rooms, computer labs, and just about anywhere else on campus. We make these products available to our students because this technology enables students with disabilities to work independently and complete work that is comparable to their peers.

PRESTON WHITE ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY LEARNING CENTER

The office of Disability Services manages the Assistive technology Learning Center that is only available for students with disabilities or students studying assistive technology. This location, in Rhodes Tower (RT) 103 of the Michael Schwartz Library, allows us to offer an excellent facility to our students that need access to assistive technology. Students can access this space any hours the library is open.

Assistive Technology Software

There are many applications licensed by Cleveland State that help promote access to campus course materials and activities. Applications like Read&Write, ZoomText, JAWS, ReadSpeaker, and Dragon are also available for home installations for our students.

ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY Hardware

Disability Services also has hardware tools that can be used in classrooms, study areas, and in some cases at home. This equipment includes video magnifiers, a Braille display, Personal FM Systems, and other auxiliary aids.

ODS TESTING ROOMS

The Office of Disability Services maintains Assistive Technology in its testing rooms. We have several computers in Testing Services with JAWS, ZoomText, Read&Write and Dragon. We also have adjustable desks and Video Magnifiers in our testing suites.
