The Adaptive Technology Center (ATC) offers equitable access for MTSU and the surrounding community through technology. Our function as an open computer lab, provider of services, collaborator with faculty and staff, and short-term equipment lender serves more than 1,000 individuals annually. This includes over 800 students who are registered with the Disability and Access Center (DAC), diverse learners, nontraditional students, students studying disability related fields, and other university areas that use adaptive technology. This proposal includes hardware and software updates. With these additions, the ATC will offer up-to-date equipment and services to the population it serves. The following is a list of abbreviations used in this request: UAW = Universally Accessible Workstation, LD = Learning Disabilities, PD = Physical Disabilities, VD = Visual Disabilities, HD = Hearing Disabilities, DL = Diverse Learner, * = Essential for operations and ** = Solution for current obstacles to equitable access.
