General InformationThe fundamental goal of The Computer Center for Citizens With Disabilities is to help improve the lives of children and adults with disabilities by introducing them to the many ways in which computer technology can enhance their jobs, careers and education. We are generally open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays. With two full-time professionals and two part-time staff members; we are a very small organization and work by appointment only. THE COMPUTER CENTER was founded in 1988 by a group of Utah parents, professionals and consumers all committed to empowering persons with disabilities to augment their highest potential through the use of computers. The Alliance: THE COMPUTER CENTER is a member of the Alliance for Technology Access (ATA), a network of over forty resource centers across the country. The ATA is committed to improving the lives of persons with disabilities through technology. Linked by e-mail, centers share computer solutions and help one another keep current with the latest technological developments. Services 1. Cost-free consultations - We provide a place where people with disabilities, advocates, teachers, and other professionals can come to try out computer hardware, and preview software applications with one-on-one support. Please call for an appointment. 2. Workshops - We provide workshops for parents and professionals concerning many aspects of applying computer technology to the needs of persons with disabilities. 3. Information - As a technology resource center, we can answer questions and provide information on many types of adaptive equipment and special software. 4. Internet Access - A computer with a T1 connection to the internet is available for visitors to use in accessing the internet. By appointment, individuals can research disability issues and products and print useful information that they may find. Augmentative Communication THE COMPUTER CENTER has a contract to work with the Utah Augmentative Alternative Assistive Communication and Technology teams (UAAACT) in the public schools throughout the state of Utah. Under this agreement, we can loan augmentative devices and adaptive equipment to teachers and therapists on the augmentative teams for their use in assessing the oral and written communication needs of students. |
