SJSU IT Tips – Assistive Technologies

Spartans,

Accessibility is a key component in the success of students, faculty, and staff at SJSU. I want to share some resources that are available through San José State, if you could use assistance with your work or studies.

If you are a student requiring special support, the Accessible Education Center (AEC) is an invaluable source of assistance. The AEC provides a wealth of resources, including assistive technology and training. Some examples of assistive technologies that are available are text-to-speech software, note-taking software, and information on device settings that can aid in accessibility.

Another great place for support is the Accessibility at SJSU webpage. In addition to providing information for students, there are links to resources specific to SJSU faculty and staff requiring assistance or accommodation. There are also guidelines for creating accessible content and a list of tools to help you to create accessible content.

Thank you Andrew Weiglein from our Project Management Office for providing this tip. As always, the SJSU IT Service Desk is here to help by phone at (408) 924-1530 or online.

Thanks,
Bob Lim
Vice President for Information Technology
and CIO at San José State University
