Robert sent this information on a disabilities computing conference
happening in November. I wonder if we might be interested in having a
presence there or not.

EASI: Equal Access to Software and Information
Has the Americans with Disabilities Act left you with more questions
than answers about providing computing services for individuals with
disabilities? Are you trying to find the most effective, efficient way
to support your disabled students, faculty and staff?

as the Americans with Disabilities Act and Sections 503 and 504 of the
1973 Rehabilitation Act
*Technology and equipment necessary for students, faculty and staff
with disabilities
*Setting up accessible labs and workstations
*Establishing support services for technology-use by students,

EASI Answers to Hard Questions
EASI's one-day, three module seminar presentation is designed to offer
strategies for developing and enhancing adaptive computer technology
services on college and university campuses. The Seminar Series was
created by a group of specialists who have a wide variety of expertise
working with computer technology and people with disabilities.
Seminar modules are designed to accommodate a wide variety of audiences.
Certain modules are specifically aimed at computing services personnel,
disabled student services providers, college and university faculty,
staff members, and campus administrators.
EASI Presenters
When you're trying to figure out how to do something, the best advice
usually comes from the experts--the people who have done it before.
EASI presenters are people who have already set up the kinds of
services your school needs. Our presenters are experts who have
developed and implemented adaptive computing technology service programs
at colleges and universities across the country. The people presenting
the EASI Seminar Series are the people who have pioneered the field of
adaptive computing. They've taken a pro-active approach to meeting
legal mandates. They've advocated for services at their schools.
They've struggled for funding.
They've tried new equipment and new technologies. They've worked with
students. After all that, they know what works. And they're willing to
share that knowledge with you.
