[nabs-l] Trouble Using Computers on Campus

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi,

Having accessible technology to use computers since this is access is their 
responsibility if your school is a public university or recieves federal 
funds.  The source is the law.  I think the ADA or Section 504 of the Rehab 
act would apply here.  I'd ask a lawyer if I were you.  Another idea is call 
the NFB national office with your question or the American Association of 
people with disabilities, AAPD and they should have some answers since they 
advocate for people with disabilities.

Thank you for all the suggestions you have given me. I talk to the person in 
charge of technology in the disabilities office on a regular bases given all 
the problems I encounter using accessible technology on campus. She does not 
seem to understand my needs as a blind student no matter how many times I 
tell her. It is rather frustrating trying to work with a disabilities office 
that seems to apply a one size fits all approach to providing services to 
students with disabilities. All of your suggestions are great, but what I’m 
really looking for is some kind of source that I could use to hold the 
college responsible for ensuring that the accessible technology they have be 
installed and running properly if that is in fact their responsibility.
