Interviewee: Carter Schott
Meet Carter Schott, a University of Illinois graduate student whose lived experience and design instincts are shaping new possibilities in assistive technology. In this installment of Voices of Accessibility, CITL speaks with Schott about his time on campus, what sparked his drive to design for accessibility, and the philosophy behind his venture, Innovative Independence.
The Center for Innovation in Teaching & Learning (CITL) in collaboration with the (dis)Ability Design Studio and Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) is looking for students to share their stories about accessibility on this campus and how they are rising above perceived limitations. The series is designed to highlight lived experiences about adjusting to and overcoming barriers. We welcome stories about well-being, belonging, learning, and innovating. Stories will be shared on multiple websites and may be compiled into a future documentary. Interested? Submit brief info at the following webform:
