When students with disabilities reach college they
unfortunately no longer have access to an IEP. Although students will not get IEPs
in college, they can still use assistive technology in the classroom! Now under
Section 504 and the ADA, colleges must provide (at no cost to the student) reasonable accommodations to make their program accessible to students with
disabilities. There are some accommodations for college students with
disabilities listed below:
- Computers (all computer offer a variety of AT services and tools already built in)
- Portable note taker/smart pen to record lectures and sync to notes
- Sign language interpreters
- Assistive listening system
- Word processing application for essay exams
- Use of a calculator
- Text-to-speech software
- Captioned videos
- Providing handouts in electronic format
- E-text
- Audio books
- Screen magnification applications
- Graphic organizer applications
- Providing a telecommunication device for the deaf (TTY)
