(AT) are solutions that help people perform tasks despite an accessibility barrier they face. This could range from a software that reads your books out loud to you; to a setting your computer that makes text more visible. Some of these solutions take the form of software, other times it is hardware. <strong>Any AT we provide to a student must be approved as part of a student鈥檚 accommodations by their coordinator. </strong></span></p><h2>AT Examples</h2><ul><li><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">Text to speech readers</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">Dyslexic friendly fonts</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">Dictation</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">Speech to text</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">Immersive Reader Features</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US"></span><span lang="EN-US">File conversion Recommendations</span></li></ul><h2>Assistive Technology Intake Meeting</h2><p><span lang="EN-US">A student can meet with an AT specialist over a video call. If there is a need identified by the student and the coordinator that requires the meeting be in person, then that is an option too. During this meeting, we will discuss the student鈥檚, prior experiences and accessibility barriers. Then, the AT specialist can make AT recommendations. </span></p><blockquote><p><a href="https://outlook.office365.com/book/radr_booking@echo.rutgers.edu/s/3TT6TuFCLkm7f9s3nVLwJw2"><span lang="EN-US">Schedule a Support Call</span></a><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p></blockquote><h2>Recommendation Process</h2><p><span lang="EN-US">We try to prioritize solutions that are readily available. On special cases, we will provide tools based on the unique nature of a student鈥檚 barriers. If a student has used AT before, then we can explore alternatives if their preferred AT is not available through our office.</span></p><p><span lang="EN-US">During this meeting, please keep in mind:</span></p><ul><li><span lang="EN-US">This is always a collaborative process.</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US">Recommendations are only Recommendations.</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US">Explore and try different types of AT to determine what works best for you.</span></li></ul><p> </p><p> </p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-resource-category field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field--label h5">Resource Category</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item">Student Accommodations</div> <div class="field--item">Assistive Technology</div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-audience field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field--label h5">Audience</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item">Students</div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-campus field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field--label h5">Campus</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item">New Brunswick</div> <div class="field--item">Off Campus Locations</div> <div class="field--item">RBHS</div> <div class="field--item">Newark</div> <div class="field--item">Camden</div> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div> </section> </div> </div> <footer class="footer page-footer" role="contentinfo"> <div class="container"> <div class="region region-footer"> <section id="block-rutgersfooter" class="block block-block-content block-block-contentec8fcf74-da17-4857-a569-1d6777e3d3d9 clearfix"> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><p>Copyright 漏 2024, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, an equal access / equal opportunity, affirmative action institution.
