Abstract	This article reports the highlights of the recently concluded Annual International Technology and Persons with Disabilities Conference organized by California State University at Northridge. Attendees from more than 30 countries learned about services provided by the Social Security Administration, GeorgiaTech (CATEA), NISH, Computer/Electronic Accomodations Program (CAP), Abeldata/NARIC, ADA and IT Technical Assistance Centers, telecommunications companies, AT Network and the Institute for Persons Hard of Hearing/Deaf. According to Mary Ann Cummins-Prager, director of the Center on Disabilities, about 4,000 people visited the conference which was fully accessible to persons with special needs. For the first time, many of the attendees learned about AOL's AIM Relay Service, AOLbyPhone, AOL.com Portal and Streaming Closed Captions. The conference also showcased several products marketed for people with disabilities. (ERIC).
