Recommendations to New York State for strategies to increase access

4. Universal Design and Access Through Assistive Technology (continued)

  • Colleges and universities develop guidelines for the integration of assistive technology into their technology plan in ways that ensure universal design and access in a timely manner.

  • Colleges and universities assess the impact of college technology purchases and upgrades on access prior to purchase or upgrade.

Outcomes

The number of colleges and universities that have a formal component in their overall campus technology plans that addresses universal design and access will increase over the next five years.

The percentage of students who report favorably on access and accommodation around campus technology, and in being able to acquire special technologies they need in order to successfully complete coursework and participate in campus life will increase over the next five years.
