Focus on Assistive Technologies

About the series

Several times a year, I offer 30-minute sessions over Zoom on topics related to assistive technologies, employment accommodation, and accessibility. These sessions are free to everybody on my mailing list. To join the mailing list, drop me a line.

Returning to Work After a Concussion

Thursday 18 September. 1 - 1:30 p.m. Eastern time.

While most people fully recover after a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), 10 to 30% experience prolonged or chronic challenges. During this session, I'll discuss both standard and innovative accommodation strategies to support employees when they return to work after mTBI.

Hands-free Voice Access for "Serious" Writers

Thursday 25 September. 1 - 1:30 p.m. Eastern time.

Speech recognition technology keeps getting better. But is it good enough for people who do intensive, "serious" writing hands-free? During this session, I'll explore accommodation options for employees with little or no use of their hands who need to draft, revise, and polish documents.

Technical sessions in October or November

I'm planning to present three technical sessions on topics such as keyboard-only access for people who don't use screen readers, macros, and software customization. Stay tuned for details.

Intended Audiences

These sessions are geared to anyone involved in employment accommodation, assistive technologies, and accessibility:

Although most sessions are not technical, they may pique the interest of technical folks.
