Assistive Technology Training Center (ATTC)

The ODS Assistive Technology Training Center (ATTC) computer lab is available for students' use during regular ODS office hours. The ATTC is equipped with PC computers using assistive technology software and equipment that features:

• Scan-to-Speech, Text-to-Speech, and Web-to-Speech software, that utilizes bi-modal output via computer-generated voice
• Word prediction software
• Screen reader software
• Screen enlargement software
• CCTV and portable text magnification systems
• Printer access for note-takers
• Large and flat screen monitors
• Refreshable Braille displays
• Adaptive mice and keyboards (upon request)
• Alternative navigation programs 
• Adjustable tables

Some examples of the specialized software available on the ATTC computers are: WYNN, Kurzweil 3000, Read & Write Gold - primarily designed to assist students with learning disabilities - this can help students overcome their reading and written language deficits. In addition, this software has excellent study guide composition tools. ZoomText and JAWS are designed to assist students who are visually impaired or blind as they enlarge the screen or read aloud anything found on the screen. For those with difficulty with typing using the standard keyboard, Dragon Naturally Speaking allows you to dictate directly to the computer with your words appearing right on the screen. ATTC computers also have the software most commonly found in labs across campus (Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.). Any student needing class-specific software loaded on the ATTC computers should contact their counselor at the beginning of the quarter.

If you need training in the use of the assistive technology located on campus, contact the ODS Assistive Technology Coordinator or the ATTC Graduate Assistant at 292-3307 for an appointment. During ODS office hours, the ATTC staff is available for student questions without appointment.
