本文介绍了一个跨学科的努力，四个科学部门，两个残疾人服务办公室，和特殊教育人员进行的项目，调查辅助技术设备的使用和成功，以及其他设备的修改，试图将科学实验室的环境，残疾学生可以独立运作。这些方法是为化学、生物学、地质学和物理学的入门级科学课程开发和测试的，也可以应用于其他学科。有各种身体或视力残疾的学生被招募来执行通常用于科学实验的实验室技能。评估的设备范围从高端计算机放大系统到实验室教师容易修改的玻璃器皿。由于化学实验室比其他科学学科存在更多的安全问题，因此特别关注学生如何能够无休止地执行任务。
This paper describes a project undertaken as an interdisciplinary effort among four science departments, two disabilities services offices, and special education personnel to investigate the use and success of assistive technology devices as well as other equipment modifications in an attempt to transform science laboratories into environments where students with disabilities can function independently. The methods were developed and tested for entry-level science courses in chemistry, biology, geology, and physics, and could also be applied to other disciplines. Students with a wide variety of physical or visual disabilities were recruited to perform lab skills typically used in science experiments. Equipment evaluated ranged from high-end computerized magnification systems to glassware easily modified by the lab instructor. Because chemistry labs present significantly more safety issues than the other science disciplines, special attention was given to how students were able to perform tasks without end...
