Adaptive Technology Network: Through the generosity of a private donor, we are in the process of developing an Adaptive Technology Network. This project's goal is to provide access to adaptive software for students with disabilities 24 hours a day/7 days a week, on personal computers. Students will be able to access the adaptive software from home, or from dorm rooms if they have hard-wired Internet access.

Adaptive computers are also available in the University Library and in the Memorial Union computer labs.
