Free and open source AT resources
http://www.onlineconferencingsystems.com/at.htm is one of the best AT website resources we have seen in a while. Why? I'll leave it to the website's creater to explain:
"Commercially-available assistive technology contributes, significantly, to enhancing the quality-of-life, independence and employability of millions of people with disabilities. Unfortunately, many individuals, social organizations, schools and government agencies can not afford to purchase it. Furthermore, there are many additional situations that preclude people with disabilities from accessing, using... or continuing to use commercial AT. For example, when K-12 schools purchase AT for use by their students... the schools own the AT. Often this situation precludes students with disabilities from being able to take the school's AT home with them to complete homework assignments... or to their local libraries to help them study and surf the web with their friends. When students graduate from high school they no longer have access to the AT that contributed to their success and independence as part of their K-12 education. The ability for high school students with disabilities to transition from high school to college, or into work environments, can also be negatively impacted. Free Assistive Technologies can help to mitigate these problems. It is this end that we dedicate and maintain this website."
If you know of an open source or otherwise free AT application that is not listed in their library, please let these folks know about it via e-mail. They would like to add it to this resource.
