St. Bonaventure University faculty and staff explored new ways to support students with diverse learning needs during the Assistive Services Series, a set of informational workshops presented this fall by SBU’s DePerro School of Health Professions in collaboration with the Accessibility Services & Accommodations Office and the Faculty/Staff Resource Center.

The three-part series offered insights into the resources, assistive technology (AT), and best practices that enhance accessibility and inclusion across campus. 

• "AT Assistive Devices/Software and Students with Accommodations," presented by Molly Vaughan, clinical assistant professor of Occupational Therapy, and Cody Childs, student success specialist.
• An overview of the TRAID program, which provides access to assistive technology through free equipment loans, presented by Vaughan, who oversees the program, and Dr. Aime Rizzuto, clinical assistant professor of Occupational Therapy.
• "ADA for Students with Physical Impairments," presented by Dr. Derien Braxton, assistant professor in the Physician Assistant Studies program.
