Georgia Tech's Center for Inclusive Design and Innovation (CIDI) focuses on "the promotion of technological innovation and development of user-centered research, products, and services for individuals with disabilities." At the link above, readers can browse CIDI's Research portfolio, learn about upcoming trainings (under Education), and check out their full Services offerings. While some of CIDI's services require a membership or other fees, they also provide multiple free tools. Particularly relevant right now is CIDI's COVID-19 resource portal (linked on the landing page). Created with technical assistance from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and funding from the CDC Foundation, these resources distill important health information in accessible documents that are compatible with screen readers or other assistive technology and accessible videos with American Sign Language. Readers can also request mailed copies of braille resources. Equally relevant is the Tips For Making Digital Learning Accessible section (linked on the News and Events page). This portal offers guidance on inclusive technology, multimedia tools, and student interaction in digital learning environments.
