Assistive Technologies Give a person a fish and they will have one meal. Teach a person to fish and you will feed them for life. Enable students and employees with disabilities to read only when assisted by a service group that converts all print media to accessible formats. Enable students and employees to read independently by helping them convert their own print media to electronic formats and to use AT for a lifetime of learning. Paraphrased from an old Chinese Proverb ~ Lao Tzu
