Steve brings experience in the evaluation , training of assistive technology for people with visual, hearing, cognitive, speech, mobility, and intellectual impairments.  His primary responsibilities include the coordination, evaluation, installation, and ongoing maintenance of assistive technology accommodations at ATRC.  Steve will serve as the primary contact for all assistive technology assessment referrals, evaluate requests for assistive technology, and assess alternative methods of accommodation.

SURVEY: "Individuals with Disabilities Who Need Job Accommodations"

"Individuals with disabilities who need job accommodations (or "reasonable accommodations" as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act) are being sought for a study by researchers at the University of Maryland, College Park. The purpose of this study is to examine factors related to requests for job accommodations.

You are invited to share your perceptions on factors related to an accommodation request by answering a few questions about yourself, your organization, and your abilities and emotions in the course of requesting accommodations. This survey will take about 20-30 minutes.
