Technology Fee Proposal for Software for the Office for Students with Disabilities
The Office for Students with Disabilities (OSD) ensures accessibility to students on all campuses at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) by providing the use of specialized assistive technology software to OSD students on all FAU campuses. This allows students to use computers, engage fully in classroom activity and function independently in pursuing their academic goals at FAU. The OSD not only provides the technological means to achieve these goals, but also offers the required training to fully utilize the equipment in an effective and useful manner. On each campus the assistive technology software is utilized by students with disabilities in the Boca OSD assistive technology lab, in OSD student testing rooms and on computers that are temporarily loaned to OSD students. The software requested in this proposal is chosen to uphold the highest access to instructional technology in the most effective and cost efficient manner.
An upgrade plan renewal is required to continue to provide Zoomtext for visually impaired users in their need to access computers at the OSD. An extension of the current Kurzweil 3000 license subscription is required to allow students with learning disabilities to read and work with printed course materials. We also require upgrades to our 3 current licenses of Kurzweil 1000 to provide alternate format materials to Blind students. Goodfeel music Braille transcription software is a software solution required for current blind students enrolled in the FAU music program to be able to convert sheet music into an accessible music Braille format. We require upgrades to our 2 copies of Mathtype math accessibility creation software. For our students with writing difficulties, we require 3 copies of WordQ/SpeakQ, which is word prediction software to assist the writing process. Lastly, we need a 1 year extension of our student database support plan, ClockWork. This database is used to track and implement student testing, disability accommodations, training and appointments.
The provision of the software requests in this technology proposal will allow the OSD to continue to maintain a state-of-the-art accessible information technology environment that fosters equality and inclusiveness for students with disabilities at FAU.
