Adaptive Technologies for Learning and Work Environments.

Joseph J. Lazzaro. American Library Association, Books Marketing Manager, 50 East Huron St., Chicago, IL 60611.251 pages. Softcover, $35.00. ALA member price, $31.50 Toll free telephone: 1-800-545-2433, Ext. 2424.

Starting with the personal computer, the author describes representative peripherals successful in reducing barriers to people with disabilities in public institutions, draws on the universal mainstream technology, and tells how to mate it with adaptive technology to allow the user with disabilities to work side by side with the nondisabled user.

The text provides a brief overview of adaptive technology and discusses how to install and integrate adaptive equipment and how to train consumers in its use.

The book also includes an index of federal regulations, disability oriented publications, state-based technical assistance programs, and agencies which provide services to people with disabilities.
