This is a reminder that the 8th ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers
and Accessibility (ASSETS 2006) will be held this year from the 23rd
to 25th of October, at the Embassy Suites Downtown in Portland
Oregon. ASSETS is the principal forum for discussions and information
exchange between researchers, clinicians, educators, rehabilitation
personnel, and policy makers concerned with information technologies
for people with disabilities. As such we solicit high quality
original work that addresses the issues associated with
computing/information technology in relation to:
* Hearing, sight and other sensory impairments,
* Motor impairments,
* Memory, learning and cognitive disabilities, and
* Aging.

2 - The National Science Foundation (NSF) has agreed to sponsor the
Doctoral Consortium at this year's ASSETS conference. The Doctoral
Consortium is the ideal opportunity for students who are at the
beginning of their research to obtain partially-subsidized attendance
at the conference and receive guidance on their research from a panel
of established experts in this area. Further details are available at:
