Adaptive Technlogy Center

The Adaptive Technology Center (ATC) is a branch of Disabled Student Services (DSS) and is located centrally on campus in the James E. Walker Library, room 174. The Center provides access to adaptive/assistive technology, which maintains or improves the functional capabilities of students with disabilities. The Center helps students with disabilities remove obstacles, achieve academic success, interact with their surroundings and lead a more independent life. It is through DSS’s ATC that many auxiliary aids and services are provided campus wide.

Adaptive technology stations that facilitate the computing needs of students with visual or learning disabilities are available at the MTSU Walker Library, KOM 350 University Computing Lab, and Wood-Felder housing lab. These stations feature special hardware and software such as: speech synthesizers; large monitors; Braille printers; scanners; and document cameras.
