Proposal Summary: The Association for Computing Machinery proposes to bring a number of students with disabilities ? specifically hearing impairment ? to the 2007 Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing, there by increasing awareness of and participation by people with disabilities in the computing sciences. The Tapia Celebration is the perfect venue to broaden computing representation to include students with disabilities. The Tapia Conference, with its small size (relative to other professional computing conferences) and its focus on STEM students, would provide a welcoming and nurturing environment. Moreover, students with disabilities may well find similar or overlapping experiences with the under-represented ethnic students at Tapia. For instance, both groups have experiences being overlooked by traditional educational and professional pipelines. These conveyed similar experiences can become the basis of friendships and collaborations. These close student interactions would also seed or broaden student perspectives on future computing environments, needs, and innovation. Faculty from Gallaudet and from RIT has identified specific support needs for each student and those needs will be accommodated with the requested support

提案摘要：计算机械协会建议带一些残疾学生？特别是听力障碍2007年Richard Tapia计算机多样性庆祝活动，通过提高残疾人对计算机科学的认识和参与。 塔皮亚庆典是扩大计算代表性的完美场所，包括残疾学生。 塔皮亚会议规模较小（相对于其他专业计算会议），重点是STEM学生，将提供一个欢迎和培育的环境。 此外，残疾学生很可能会在塔皮亚找到与代表性不足的少数民族学生相似或重叠的经历。 例如，这两个群体都有被传统教育和专业管道忽视的经历。 这些传达的相似经历可以成为友谊和合作的基础。 这些密切的学生互动也将种子或扩大学生对未来的计算环境，需求和创新的观点。Gallaudet和RIT的教师已经确定了每个学生的具体支持需求，这些需求将与所要求的支持相适应
