Stanford classes cancelled

This issue reports the cancellation of Stanford classes.

Perspectives in Assistive Technology is a Winter Quarter Stanford course - entering its fourteenth 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.

Remaining class sessions have been cancelled
