All Technology is Assistive (but Not Always Accessible)

Description

This session will cover how everyday technology is used by underprivileged groups, and what accessibility barriers are faced. You will learn how marginalized people use technology daily, how every day occurrences can impede usage, and useful tips on how to improve access to technology and programs for those most in need. Special attention will be paid to disability rights, with a focus on how libraries can make Assistive more Accessible.
