About ATI

Introduction

The Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI) is comprised of CSU Coded Memoranda AA-2006-41 and AA-2007-04 (PDF) and serves as a roadmap for ensuring accessibility of information technology and resources, pursuant to state and federal law and California State University (CSU) Executive Order No. 926.

Disability support and accommodation is a significant component of the CSU academic mission. Compliance with the various state and federal disability laws rests upon the assumption that compliance efforts are current, effective, and periodically updated to respond to changing conditions. Through ATI our campus will work collaboratively with other CSU campuses to ensure that procedures are in place to make information technology resources and services accessible to all students, faculty, staff and visitors.

The Accessible Technology Initiative’s

• Vision: To create a culture of access for an inclusive learning and working environment.
• Mission: To help CSU campuses in carrying out EO926 by developing guidelines, implementation strategies, tools and resources.
• Principle: To apply universal design, an approach to the design of products and services to be usable by the greatest number of people including individuals with disabilities.
• Strategy: To stimulate collaboration to effect changes that will ultimately benefit all.
