Perspectives in Assistive Technology

Perspectives in Assistive Technology is a Winter Quarter Stanford course - now in its tenth year - that explores the design, development, and use of assistive technology that benefits people with disabilities and older adults.  The schedule consists of semi-weekly classroom discussions; lectures by notable professionals, clinicians, and assistive technology users; tours of local medical, clinical, and engineering facilities; an assistive technology faire; and a film screening.

Course lectures will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30 to 5:50pm and are open to the greater Stanford community. You are most welcome to sit in on class sessions that interest you. You need not be a Stanford student and there is no required signup, enrollment, or charge. The class will meet in Classroom 110, Thornton Center, large, tiered, accessible classroom on campus, adjacent to the Terman Fountain and near the Roble Gym. Here are the parking options, maps, and directions to the classroom.
