| Abstract | This report discusses outcomes of three empirical studies which investigated the computer and adaptive computer technology needs and concerns of Quebec college students with various disabilities, professors, and individuals responsible for providing services to students with disabilities. Key findings are highlighted and recommendations are made to guide decision making to ensure access to college for all students. Findings include: (1) students with disabilities are generally enrolled in arts and social science programs where computer use is not extensive; (2) most colleges have some type of computer or adaptive computer technologies for students with disabilities on campus; (3) individuals responsible for providing services to students with disabilities are rarely consulted when campus-wide computer and information technology infrastructure decisions are made; (4) many service providers are unfamiliar with adaptive computer technologies; and (5) factors important to the adequacy of an institution in meeting computer needs of students with disabilities include funding, access to adaptive computer technologies, Internet access, technical support, factors related to faculty, and expertise of service provider. The high cost of acquiring and maintaining computer technologies was the single most important and common issue noted by participants. Information is also presented in French.
