Learn the basics of assistive technologies people with disabilities use to use a computer! In this lecture by a Google software engineer, we'll go over some of the main assistive technologies people use and will learn how to make websites accessible.

This is the third talk in a series of talks hosted by Designing for Assistive Technology (D4AT) in an effort to educate others about assistive technology (AT).

D4AT is a multi-school collaboration, comprised of schools from California to New York, to create AT for people living with disabilities in our local community and educate students about disability and accessibility issues.
