Spotlight on Employment

All three members of Delaware's Congressional delegation-Senator Roth, Senator Biden, and Representative Castle joined University of Delaware President David Roselle in hosting Assistive Technology: Innovative Concepts at Work on April 27 on the University of Delaware campus.The event emphasized the benefits of AT and universal design in the workplace with a keynote address by Steve Jacobs, senior technology consultant for the NCR Corporation in Dayton, with exhibits, and with the premiere of a new video produced specifically for this event. The video, titled Assistive Technology: The Right Tools for the Right Job, showcases Delawareans working in their chosen professions with support from assistive technology. Among those depicted in the video are Lily Bandak, Ken Barner, John Jefferson, Tony Maczynski, Michele Reeves, Jamie Wolfe, and Kevin Weik. The video was developed by University of Delaware Media Services in conjunction with DATI, with funding from the U.S. Department of Education, National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research. Additional copies of the video are available; see resources for more information.

The DATI is extremely grateful to the University and the many University staff who made this event possible. We were also honored by the support and participation of our Congressional delegation, all of whom offered compelling remarks about the benefits of assistive technology for persons with disabilities. Our deepest appreciation is extended to those who shared their stories for inclusion in the video.
