Stockton University offers its students a variety of tools to aid in accessibility. These tools could be physical equipment or software. Assistive technology can be particularly beneficial for students with challenges in language processing, auditory or visual processing, or those who struggle with note-taking, among other areas. To gain access to these tools, students must be registered in the Learning Access Program and then contact the Wellness Center to schedule an appointment with the Coordinator of Adaptive Technology. This blog post will be focusing on the physical equipment that students may use at Stockton.
