Working at expanding the accessibility of tools, resources and technology that will help increase independence, improve personal productivity, and enhance the quality of life for all Californians. Provides information, referrals, training, and technical assistance to those who share an interest in and commitment to the practical and effective use of technology by people with disabilities. California AT System (CATS) is a statewide project which promotes access to assistive technologies, related services, and information to enable people with disabilities to be successful, independent and productive.

has developed innovative technology enabling hands-free device control and communications in noisy environments. This patented technology uses an in-ear microphone that captures sounds that travel back into the ear canal. We then use proprietary speech algorithms, including a speech recognition engine, to process this signal and recognized commands are sent to the unmanned system. Along with hands-free, heads-up device control capabilities, TAM has also created acoustic echo cancellation, ambient noise reduction, and signal processing algorithms to enable its technology to be used in a communications headset. Think-A-Move has also performed pioneering research to be able to use tongue movement for device control

The Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab at Stanford University combines experimental and computational approaches to study movement. We investigate the form and function of biomechanical systems ranging from molecular motors to persons with movement disorders. We seek fundamental understanding of the mechanisms involved in the production of movement, and are motivated by opportunities to improve treatments for individuals with cerebral palsy, stroke, osteoarthritis, and Parkinson's disease.
