Students w/ disabilities face obstacles to school technology


Students who have disabilities face barriers to accessing emerging technology such as learning management and student information systems being used at many universities and colleges. "It is a matter of civil rights and basic inclusion," said Dianne Hengst, director of disability services at the University of Texas at San Antonio. "The highest unemployed population in the world is the disabled, so it is important to provide everyone with the same opportunity to be successful."
