Hundreds of people gathered at UMBC on July 26, 2012 to celebrate the 22nd<\/sup> anniversary of the signing of the Americans With Disabilities Act. In honor of the event, MDTAP has assembled a number of YouTube clips that illustrate how technology can help people at school, at work, and at home. We also found some videos that show what assistive technology may be able to help us do in the future.<\/p>\n

Note: Some of the clips may not be captioned\u00a0 by their creators; we have noted which clips come with their own captioning.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
