ETTAC is a designated Microsoft Accessibility Resource Center. At no cost, local businesses and individuals can visit ETTAC, experiment with Windows Vista, Office 2007, Internet Explorer 7, the Comfort Mouse and Comfort Keyboard. Free CD's are also available with Windows Vista demos and tutorials, and Windows Vista accessibility tutorials and demonstrations. Organizations such as senior centers, libraries, retirement communities or other organizations with computer labs may request a free training on the accessibility options built into Windows operating system. Over the years, the use of assistive technology has proven effective in enabling people with disabilities to set and reach goals which otherwise may not have been possible. ETTAC is truly a place where disabilities become possibilities.
