Perspectives in Assistive
Technology is a Winter Quarter Stanford course - now in its
sixteenth year - that explores the design, development, and use of
assistive technology that benefits people with disabilities and older adults.
It consists of semi-weekly in-person discussions; lectures by
notable professionals, clinicians, and assistive technology users; a
tour of an accessible inclusive playground; student project
presentations and demonstrations; and an Assistive Technology
Faire. |

So, your parking options are:
- To arrive on campus
at 4:00pm to take advantage of the open parking and miss a few minutes of
class.
- To arrive on campus
a bit earlier than 4:00pm to be on time for the start of the class, incurring a
small risk of getting a parking citation.
- Download and use
"Zone Parking" or the ParkMobile app to pay for less than an hour of visitor
parking. See the

Project Presentations
Ten Teams
|
Abstract: This quarter ten student teams have
been addressing problems experienced by individuals with disabilities or older
adults and have been working to research, brainstorm, design, fabricate, and
test a prototype device or software to meet the identified problem. Each team
will give a formal presentation detailing their project activities. Please note
that this was about a seven-week team project effort and the students'
prototypes are not intended to represent commercial offerings.
