 ABOUT OUR PRESENTERS:

 

Dr. Robert Carter is a 56-year-old psychologist at Texas A&M University. Before coming to Texas in 1989, he completed his Ph.D. at the University of Florida.

As a graduate assistant, Dr. Carter ran an accessible computer lab where he taught blind people to use the Apple II. In his doctoral dissertation, he studied the decision making process that rehabilitation counselors go through when they select access technology for their clients.

Since 1975, Dr. Carter has been involved in the testing and development of dozens of access technology products. He frequently speaks publicly about access technology.

At present, Dr. Carter is the host of “The Tech Doctor” podcast where he helps his listeners make sense of the ever-changing and complex landscape of accessible technology. You can keep up with him by following him on Twitter.

 

Erin Edgar is a lawyer working for a non-profit legal aid organization in North Carolina. She and her husband co-host a podcast called Tech Access Weekly, in which they discuss the latest developments in mainstream and assistive technology. Additionally, she also co-hosts a podcast called Book Hoarders Annonymous, which is dedicated to book-related discussion of all kinds. She can also be reached on Twitter.

 

Darrell Shandrow is a blind accessibility evangelist, Internet radio

broadcaster, assistive technology instructor, and technical writer living

in Tempe, Arizona. As the publisher of the Blind Access Journal blog and
