Subject: Invite for a workshop on Accessible Devices For Disabled
To: sambhavana.group at gmail.com

Sambhavana Organization in collaboration with Karishma Enterprise
Mumbai invites you for a one day workshop on Role and Significance of
Assistive Technology for Teaching Learning Process on First March,
2012 from 10 A.M to 4 P.M. in the Seminar Hall, Department of
Chemistry, Science Faculty, North Campus, University Of Delhi. This is
an attempt to make people aware about the accessible technology which
would enable a disabled to access the class room and the Library for
teaching learning purposes. We all are aware about the inaccessible
conditions prevailing in the class rooms and libraries of Colleges and
Departments of DU. In this context, this is an attempt to spread
awareness among the policy makers of DU to realize how the
potentiality of Disabled can play a very significant role in academic
excellence and the growth of an Institution.
The workshop will also provide exposure to the Disabled Teachers and
Students to the various available softwares and devices and their
importance in the teaching-learning process. These devices and
softwares are going to be displayed for the first time in DU. The wide
range of accessible media that will be exhibited in the workshop will
cover various disabilities.
The first half of the workshop will reflect upon the need and
relevance of modern technology for the vision impaired students and
teachers in teaching learning process. The second half of the workshop
will focus upon the Live demonstration of these devices and facilitate
the students and teachers to interact with the organizers to know
about these in detail. Having these devices through  Enabling Units,
will certainly help the Disabled to build Resource Centre in their
Colleges and Departments which may go a long way in facilitating
accessible environment in these institutions.
We therefore appeal all the University fraternity to participate in
this important exercise so that we all can strive collectively towards
making University and the teaching-learning process in the University
accessible for all.

Looking forward to see you there.

With best regards.
