Session Title: Roadmaps for Enhancing Employment of Persons with Disabilities Through the Use of Assistive Technology -REGISTRATION IS FULL.
Session Description: John Kemp will discuss the Roadmaps for Enhancing Employment of Persons with Disabilities Through the Use of Assistive Technology. These "Roadmaps" were developed in September 2007 during a ATIA and USBLN business dialogue sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor and Education. The purpose of the meeting was to facilitate dialogue among business leaders, AT stakeholders, and policy makers to meet their demand for an expanded pool of qualified employees. A consensus roadmap emerged for business, non-profits, and policy makers on how to expand the readiness and capacity of businesses to address the accessibility and usability needs of individuals with disabilities in the work environment.
