Open source assistive technology software for education

Abstract

Steve Lee and Simon Judge described their work on OATS. Steve is a MIS programmer at Exeter Further Education College, while Simon works on Assistive Technology for the NHS. The OATS project

Together, they explained why useful Assistive Technology (AT) is much more likely to be developed within a FLOSS environment, although for obvious reasons most AT software is currently developed for Windows.

The OATS project brings FLOSS and AT together by enabling users, clinicians, academics and developers to collaborate.
