Abstract
Access to electronic and information technology, from telephones to computer software, is essential for students with disabilities to fully participate in today's high-tech world. The increasing use of technology presents remarkable opportunities; however, it also presents new accessibility challenges to students with disabilities. The Mid-Atlantic Consortium on Accessible Information Technology in Education will address these challenges by demonstrating the legal responsibilities of institutions, offering self-evaluation guidelines, and by providing resources for technical assistance.
