Perspectives in Assistive Technology is a Winter
Quarter Stanford course - now starting its eleventh year - that explores
the design, development, and use of assistive technology that benefits people
with disabilities and older adults. It consists of semi-weekly classroom
discussions; lectures by notable professionals, clinicians, and
assistive technology users; tours of local medical, clinical, and
engineering facilities; student project presentations and demonstrations; an
assistive technology faire; and a film screening. |

Attend a lecture - The
schedule of guest lectures has been finalized.
Class sessions will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from
4:30 to 5:50pm starting
Tuesday, January 10th and are open to the
greater Stanford community. You are most welcome to sit in on any class
sessions that interest you. You need not be a Stanford student and there is no
required signup, enrollment, or charge. The class will meet in a large, tiered,
accessible classroom on campus in the Thornton Center, adjacent to the Terman
Fountain and near the Roble Gym, the same venue as last year. Here are the
parking options, maps, and directions to
the classroom. |

Participate in the Assistive Technology Faire -
This fifth annual course event will provide an opportunity for students
and community members to get an up-close look at a variety of assistive
technology devices and learn about available services. Users of assistive
technology products as well as small companies and agencies
serving individuals with disabilities and older adults are encouraged to bring
assistive technology devices and information to display, demonstrate, and
discuss. Please browse to the Call for Assistive
Technology Faire Participants webpage and contact me if you would like to
be a part of this event as a user or vendor of assistive technology products or
services. Everyone is welcome to attend the faire.
The
Faire starts at 4:30pm on Tuesday, February
14th just outside the classroom, Thornton 110.
