Accessible Technology
The Accessible Technology website is a one-stop shop to find information on making websites, documents, and videos accessible to people with disabilities. The entire ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ community is responsible for providing accessible content.
What is Accessibility?

At ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ, we are working toward inclusiveness for students, faculty, staff, and the public, to provide information needed to succeed here at the Beach. Learn more about accessible technology.
