The Indiana Daily Student

Article did not reflect program's magnitude

I would like to commend your article, "Center provides resources to disabled students, faculty," which was published in the IDS Sept. 20; however, it failed to describe the magnitude of the Adaptive Technology Center's application and influence on IU. The computer hardware, software and accessories the Adaptive Technology Center lends to students cater to the different learning styles of the person with a disability. For example, a blind person might prefer to have books read to them instead of reading Braille books, and the software and hardware the center provides can read a book through a computer voice, allowing a different learning style. \nBy this innovation in software and application by the Adaptive Technology Center, which is quite revolutionary among universities, people with disabilities can have a certain learning style catered to them. Furthermore, the center draws very qualified students from other universities, because it provides a novelty item to people with disabilities: a different style of learning. As a matter of fact, I was accepted and was going to attend a private East Coast university, but the uniqueness and innovation of the Adaptive Technology Center persuaded me to attend IU.\nZachary C.
