ADAPTIVE COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY - Norm Coombs, Chair of EASI, received the Strache Leadership Award for his contributions to the use of adaptive computer technology by people with disabilities. Coombs is an inspiring human being, effective leader and an outstanding speaker. Enabling people with disabilities to participate fully in teaching and learning is the most obviously "cost-effective" and significant way of using information technology. Coombs and his EASI colleagues are eager and able to provide information and guidance to those ready to use technology to support people with disabilities. A link to an audio recording of the evening meeting during which Coombs' award was presented will soon be available from EASI's Web page: http://www.rit.edu/~easi
