Abstract

Increasingly, a large number of functions on the campuses of post‐secondary educational institutions are becoming reliant on the use of computers. In 1986, a user group was formed at The University of Michigan to give people with disabilities a voice in determining how their computing needs could be met. Passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) bolstered the group's efforts.
