Be sure you visited the Intro page and downloaded the Word doc with the questions you'll need to answer throughout your journey!

Meet Some People with Disabilities
One thing that makes it easier to marginalize groups of people is to not actually know them. The first thing, then, that we want to do is meet some real, live people who live with various disabilities. We'll get to know a little about what their disability is like, and then we'll be introduced to assistive technologies that help make some aspect of their lives easier.

Process Task #1
//Before you watch these videos, I want you to answer this question:// 1. Do you know anyone with a disability? What is their disability and what technologies (from "low tech" to "high tech") do they use to aid them in overcoming their disability?

//As you watch these videos and afterward, answer the following questions:// 2. List 5 assistive technologies that you are introduced to.


 * __Video 1__:** **Working Together: People with Disabilities and Computer Technology ** (14 minutes)

//An overview of a wide range of adaptive and assistive technologies as well as the perspectives of real users of those technologies.//
