ACCESS TECHNOLOGY CIG
What is the Access Technology CIG?
Access Technology is a special interest group within the CAPED organization.
Its purpose is:
- To facilitate the exchange of information among personnel providing assistive technology and alternate media services for students with disabilities.
- To encourage coordination of assistive technology and alternate media efforts among all departments offering programs or services to persons with disabilities.
Over the past few years, we have been meeting at the CAPED conference in the Fall and at CSUN's Technology and Persons with Disabilities conference in Los Angeles. Our members are community college faculty, directors and classified staff, as well as members from the 4-year institutions. We welcome all the new folks working with assistive technology and alternate media and invite them to join us.

A Celebration of Penny Peterson's Life
Penny Peterson and I, CAPED AT CIG Chairs, have been collaborating and networking with other CCC, CSU and UCs on access technology. Penny has been mentoring me while I get familiar with the CSU system and the ATI process. I attended Penny’s funeral on Thursday, June 19, in Whittier. Her family and her Mormon community did a wonderful celebration of Penny’s life. Dave Sanfilippo gave a heartfelt dedication and tribute speech for Penny. I gave Penny’s husband, Scott, a 5x7 silver frame with a poem as my tribute to our friendship. The frame was put in the casket next to Penny for all to see. As our gift to the family, I ordered an arrangement from colleagues at CSUEB and the HTCTU.
Penny will be remembered as a dedicated person who wanted to see her students succeed. This has been hard on all of us. Penny has touched many lives in her personal and professional life. She will be remembered through the success of her students. Penny will always be in our hearts and thoughts.
