Subject: Review of Video "ENABLE: People with Disabilities and Computers"
Below are reviews written about the award-winning video "ENABLE:
People with Disabilities and Computers", now distributed by our
organization on a nonprofit basis.
"This video offers numerous profiles of individuals with disabilities
who have experienced how technology can enhance their lives. The
profiles cover a range of disabilities, including blindness, speech,
hearing and mobility impairments of various kinds, stroke, and
cerebral palsy..."
"Each of the individuals profiled describes his or her disability in a
personal, unique way, often emphasizing the liberating impact of
technology in all aspects of their lives, at work, at school and at
home. This video shows all kinds of adaptive technology, both hardware
and software..."
"Educators, disability professionals, caregivers, employers, and
others will be able to use this video in a variety of settings, from
training faculty, students and work site supervisors, to helping
persons with disabilities understand how technology can assist
them..."
