Closing the Gap
Computers are tools that can provide solutions to many problems
facing people with disabilities today. Closing The Gap, Inc. is an
organization that focuses on assistive technology for people with
special needs through its bimonthly magazine, annual international
conference and extensive Web site.
Published six times a year, the Closing The Gap magazine
highlights hardware and software products appropriate for people
with special needs, and explains how this technology is being
implemented in education, rehabilitation, and vocational settings
around the world.
The annual Resource Directory, the February/March issue, is a
guide to the selection of the latest computer-related products
available for people with special needs. (This acclaimed guide may
also be purchased separately.)
Closing The Gap's annual international conference, Assistive
Technology in Special Education and Rehabilitation, is held each
fall in Minneapolis, MN, exploring the many ways that technology is
being used to enhance the lives of people with special needs. The
27th Annual Conference will be held October 13-17, 2009.
