About CIDI
CIDI is dedicated to improving the human condition through equal access to technology-based and research-driven information, services, and products for individuals with disabilities.
Through its research initiatives and services, CIDI enhances access and independence by developing accessibility-related solutions for colleges, K-12 educators, corporations, nonprofits, and government agencies, supporting equal access to education, employment, and daily activities. Its offerings include braille production, e-text solutions, captioning, described media, digital accessibility and user experience consulting, and disability accommodation management. The Center also houses Tools for Life (TFL), Georgia's Assistive Technology Act Program, which provides device loans, training, and technical assistance throughout Georgia. CIDI's research focuses on accessible education, workplace inclusion, assistive technology, and age-related accessibility challenges.
