Assistive technology and communication Assistive technology research has attracted Commonwealth and State government grants, as well as industry grants over the past several years. Projects have resulted in several technology innovations including development and evaluation of accessible Internet and Email software in conjunction with staff from the School of Management Information Systems . Currently, the PhD research undertaken by Phillip Harper on the use of Videotechnology for deaf people in the workplace is the first of its type in the world and is attracting international interest. Projects with a focus on disability and assistive technology have produced academic publications, project reports, and conference presentations (eg. Harper, O’Connor & Owens, 2005; Keller, Braithwaite, Owens, & Smith, 2001; Owens, 2002; Owens, 2003; Owens, 2004; Owens, 2006; Owens & Smith, 2001; Owens & Smith, 2004; Owens & Smith, 2006; Owens & Scherer, 2003).
