Assistive Technology (AT) refers to hardware, software, devices, tools, and strategies that support individuals in a variety of ways. Within the educational setting, AT supports learners by providing alternative ways of accessing or interacting with their course materials (example: text-to-speech, enlarged font, ergonomic devices).
RRC Polytech is proud to have various Assistive Technologies available to all students. Students who require additional AT or specialized support are encouraged to book an appointment with an Accessibility Specialist when they apply to their program.
Note: Students are responsible for purchasing specialized AT, however Student Accessibility Services will support students to explore funding options or government grants/programs that may be able to cover all, or part of the cost.
