Assistive Technology Room

Assistive Technology Room


The Assistive Technology room is intended to offer greater access to equipment needed by those students who are learning disabled, hearing and/or visually impaired.  Library personnel are not trained in the use of this equipment.  All users are expected to seek out training from the Counseling Center or a peer mentor recommended by the Counseling Center


The room is equipped with two computer workstations with headphones, a large print keyboard, two scanners, a printer, a Braille printer and one Clearview by Optalec magnifying reader. We also offer the following software:

  • Jaws screen reading software
  • Dragon/naturally speaking software
  • Kurzweil scanning/reading software
  • Kurzweil software for learning disabilities
  • GoodFeel Braille Music translator
  • Lime Music Software
  • SharpEye Music Reader

The Assistive Technology room is located on the library's main floor, just around the corner from the Reference desk. If you experience any issues in the room (paper or toner needs) or can't get in, please inquire at the  Circulation Desk. 

For questions concerning the operation of this room, please contact Ronnie Mait, Coordinator of the Special Student Services at (914) 251-6035.

Getting Around Campus

  • mango = mapping accesssibility on the go
    Still in development, this project was created by students to help provide accessible routes on campus from one location to another. It works best with iPhone, but is also Android accessible. Please forward comments to Peter Ohring
