The Enabling Technologies Laboratory (ETL)
at Wayne State University was founded
in 1993 with the intention of creating, designing, and implementing technologies
that will enable people of all capabilities to enhance their innate abilities,
both physical and mental. With a special emphasis on the development of
technologies for individuals with disabilities, the ETL aims to promote
independence among those who, without the technology, would be unable to
participate in certain activities.
The ETL functions according to a
three-tiered philosophy. This philosophy includes:
-
Designing products and services that improve
everyone's performance
-
Facilitating integrated activities between
individuals with mental or physical disabilities and those without such
disabilities
-
Easing the one-on-one accommodations that
supervisors may still need to provide for individuals with more severe
disabilities.
