Adaptive Technology Training Videos from CAP.MIL
The Computer Electronic Accomodations Program at the Department of Defense has some great AT training videos: http://cap.mil/PublicationsForms/productMaterials.aspx
CAP has a number of resources that can inform you about assistive technology (AT) and ergonomics. Our AT Demonstration videos can provide information about the different types of accommodations and how these solutions help employees with disabilities. We've included links to some helpful AT documents with information about what is available for certain networks and agencies. We also have information about workplace ergonomics to help you set your workspace up in a manner that can help to prevent repetitive stress injuries.
