Michael EkstrandIf a blind student wants to do a CS undergrad (in US) specifically to work in assistive technology, what schools would be particularly good for that? (Feel free to boost for reach.)

@mdekstrand I wish there was enough attention for that! Similar issue with sign language linguistics etc, although for the Deaf we have at least Gallaudet. For assistive technology for the blind we used to just have commercial companies providing solutions, now lucky enough we have some free and open source options, but I don't think I have seen much university involvement in those...
-dsr- (hypoparenthetically)In addition to Gallaudet, there's the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at RIT (Rochester, NY)
@dashdsrdash @mdekstrand even then, I'm Dutch and live in Portugal. It's wild that the only stuff for this period is in the US. There is in general too much thinking for and not enough thinking by I think...
