The University of Minnesota's Computer Accommodations Program (CAP) is a partnership of Academic & Distributed Computing Services and Disability Services. The program exists to assist University students, staff, and faculty with disabilities in accessing computers and information through the use of adaptive technology. The Adaptive Technology Labs provide state of the art electronic reading and information processing aids for people with disabilities on campus. The labs are set up for quiet, independent use by library patrons.
