CSUN's Center on Disabilities Announces New Certificate Program in

California State University, Northridge's College of Extended

The Center on Disabilities has been a pioneer in the field of

"Technology and Persons with Disabilities," which draws more
than 2,500 participants, 110 exhibitors, and 300 speakers to Los
Angeles each year; other conferences on Virtual Reality and Voice
Input/Output; the creation of a Computer Access Lab for university
students with disabilities, and a number of training programs
including Leadership and Technology Management (under a contract
with the California Assistive Technology System/Department of
Rehabilitation), and training programs in assistive technology and
learning disabilities that were conducted throughout Region
IX: CA, AZ, NV, the Navajo Nation, Hawaii, Guam, Saipan, and
American Samoa.
The Center on Disabilities is pleased to share its long experience
in leading the assistive technology field into this new, 100-hour
certificate program. It is to be offered as a two week training
program in San Francisco, July 13-25, 1997.
