Assistive Technology Services
Note: The Assistive Technology (AT) Lab will operate with limited capacity for the duration of the current work stoppage. During this time, Assistive Technologists (ATs) are not available to provide support, and Assistant Assistive Technologists are at limited capacity. Please reach back to your Accessibility Counsellor for further discussion about supports.
While we will do our best to support students, capacity is reduced and delays may occur.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this temporary situation.
