Course Description: DSPS 4035 & DSPS 4435

DSPS Accessible Computer Labs are designed for students with disabilities, and is open to ALL City College students, regardless of ability. The DSPS Accessible Computer lab (ACL) offers FREE non-credit needs-based instruction/training in adaptive computer software and equipment for academic, vocational and personal use. We offer computer-assisted instruction in Internet, email, business software, cognitive retraining, and/or basic skills. To use the ACL Lab, students are required to complete a non-credit enrollment form in which our ACL staff will be assisting. 

The DSPS Accessible Computer lab is a quiet place with PCs & iMacs, and computer software such as Microsoft Office, Office365, Adobe Acrobat Professional, Adobe CC InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Google Apps, and more.

The DSPS Accessible Computer Lab supports a variety of adaptive/assistive computer technology applications. Learn how to use assistive/adaptive technologies to:

• Read text out loud to you,

• Voice-input instead of hand-typing your written assignments, and

• Use special software to help organize your thoughts (using mind-mapping tools) in writing a paper.

Adaptive computer applications are intended to assist students in meeting their academic objectives and support their learning needs to complete assignments for mainstream classes in a low distraction environment. 

Access the link, Adaptive-Assistive Technology in L231, for further information on computer assistive software and hardware for people with disabilities.
