Assistive Technology Assessments
Various assistive technology tools, such as screen reading software, voice recognition systems, and software for people with learning disabilities are demonstrated and evaluated to determine if these devices can be appropriate accommodations for training, education or employment.
Employment Retention
On-site assessment for Job Accommodations: Keeping good employees at their jobs after they acquire a disability, or when a disability progresses is important to employers because the experienced employee is a valuable asset. Training new employees is costly. In many situations, TRAC can help keep a person on the job with assistive technology and training services.
