On November 1, 2016, Project Enable celebrates its 5th anniversary. Project Enable is a response to a recommendation from ACC's College Accessibility Committee (CAC) to establish a platform for students to experiment with using newly available assistive software. The CAC recommendation was proposed by Marshall Levett, Professor, Student Counselor, at Eastview Campus. Professor Levett recently retired from ACC, yet Project Enable continues as part of his vision.

Project Enable at ACC is in direct support of ACC's Student Success Initiative and with ACC's Administrative Rule on Accessibility. Project Enable was also developed to help identify additional assistive and adaptive software and technology that would be used by ACC students while studying and researching in ACC libraries.
|
Project Enable is consistent with the college's focus on accessibility and universal design and learning and ACC's focus on Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion. These assistive devices and software can be used to meet the learning needs of all students who rely on adaptive technology to be independent researchers. Project Enable also helps to educate our community about assistive technology and universal design and learning.

Project Enable employees are unique in that the learning relationship is extended to other students when they teach them how to use assistive technology, software, and devices. Thus, Project Enable is based on peer-to-peer learning experiences and its community grows bigger every semester. Project Enable has instruction guides for items in the Project Enable inventory. Therefore, all patrons can work independently to learn to use a resource or rely on the Project Enable staff.

|
Project Enable is intended to ensure that no student is left behind as they pursue their postsecondary education and as they study and research in ACC libraries.
