Abstract
The development and adoption of defined and standardized ‘fully accessible workstations’, which serve the needs of a great percentage of persons that require non-traditional access to computers, is a goal of all facilities that consider meeting the needs of persons with disabilities. Although the needs of every person with a disability are unique to that individual, it is possible to develop standards based upon relative incidence and probable need of technology assistance. These standards would provide a known starting point for those facilities wishing to begin technology access assistance programs, and structured upgrade paths for those facilities wishing to expand their services to cover other disabilities.
