Adaptive technology, more commonly known as assistive technology, refers to technological devices meant to improve functioning for individuals with disabilities. Implementation of assistive technology focuses on removing barriers and increasing accessibility to desired resources. It includes the implementation of technical standards, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.0. An introduction to WCAG 2.0 can be found at Making Web Pages Accessible.
The CS-SIS Adaptive Technologies Committee maintains of a list of accessibility offices (or to the relevant informational pages) at ABA accredited law schools which may be found below. If the law school works through a University office, that office is listed even if the student submits the relevant paperwork to the law school. In many (but not all) cases, this is an office specifically addressing the needs of disabled students. Most (if not all) of the pages are targeted towards students who need accommodations, but many contain links to relevant information for faculty. In some cases, the faculty member may need to contact a listed individual to find the necessary information. Very few of these pages contain any information targeted at non-instructional staff members. In cases where there is no link available, a member of the law school's administration tasked with student issues (e.g., an Associate Dean for Student Services) is generally the appropriate contact.
