Assistive Technology
Hudson Valley Community College provides an accessible computing environment to computer technology through specifically designed adaptive equipment.
Students may:
- Use the equipment in conjunction with computer courses offered at Hudson Valley Community College
- Request an orientation to the specifically designed computer equipment for personal knowledge
- Be evaluated on the assistive technology, to assist them in making their own determination regarding the type of components they may wish to purchase or have purchased by a funding agency such as the ACCES/VR NYS Educational Department Adult Career and Continuing Education Services Vocational Rehabilitation or the NYS Commission for the Blind and Visually Handicapped (CBVH)
- Utilize several computers equipped with various components available throughout the campus.
Students interested in using these technologies should schedule an appointment by contacting the Center for Access and Assistive Technology at (518) 629-7154.
Resources are made available through a VATEA grant.
