About the Workshop
Have you ever used an elevator to get to a different floor? How about a power door operator to open a door? Have you ever read a caption to a muted video? Accessibility tools designed for persons with disabilities makes everyone’s lives easier. Join us to learn about other free accessibility tools that can help you balance your work, manage your stress, reduce fatigue, and work more efficiently. **This session will focus on software tools for computer work.
