Abstract: In this panel discussion, several Stanford students with disabilities will discuss their disabilities, academic goals, the assistive technology they use to be successful students, and the challenges they have faced. Morgan Duffy's Biosketch: Studies and experiences have lead Morgan to concentrate her work on something essential in her life: disability. As a woman with a disability, Morgan has traveled to inaccessible parts of the world to work with children who remind her of her childhood friends from summer camp. At Stanford she studies Cross Cultural Health and Policy and has completed internships at Whirlwind Wheelchair; the US Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions; and Stanford Hospital. In her spare time, Morgan enjoys shopping in open markets, being outdoors, taking road trips, meeting new people, talking politics, and reenergizing with hot yoga. Kareem Edouard's Biosketch: Kareem is a PhD candidate in the Learning Sciences and Technology Design Program of the Graduate School of Education. Nathaniel Wynn's Biosketch: Nate is a senior who's taken the slow route to graduation - he spent 6 months interning at a robotics research institute in Germany, another 6 months at a medical devices startup here in the Bay Area, and spent the last year in the robotics group at SRI International. In his spare time he enjoys reading, designing random devices, and researching his next computer upgrades. Kartik Sawhney's Biosketch: Kartik is a freshman who is really passionate about assistive technology. He intends to major in Computer Science, specializing in Human Computer Interaction. Using his knowledge, he wishes to simplify the user interface, while incorporating accessibility features into mainstream software.
