The Adaptive Technology Center for New Jersey Colleges
at
The College of New Jersey
Funded by the New Jersey Commission on Higher Education’s Special Needs Grant Program, the Adaptive Technology Center for New Jersey Colleges provides
access to appropriate technology tools to New Jersey college students who have disabilities. The center disseminates information on assistive technology,
operates an adaptive technology lending program, and provides outreach and training to faculty, staff and students at New Jersey colleges and universities.
The Adaptive Technology Center for New Jersey Colleges is one of several regional centers
supported by the Commission on Higher Education. The other centers, located at selected community colleges and four-year colleges around the state, focus on best practices
for college students who are deaf/hard of hearing or who have learning disabilities.
