"For
people without
disabilities, technology
makes things convenient,
whereas for people with
disabilities, it makes
things possible . . .
~Judith Heumann
Our goal at
EnableMart is to
raise awareness
about the benefits
of assistive
technology (AT) and
how such products
allow individuals of
various abilities to
successfully gain
independence and
join the workforce.
We hope that you
find this
information
educational and
useful. We have
years of experience
building assistive
technology
workstations and
offering AT
training. With our
technical background
and AT expertise, we
offer the best
services available.
EnableMart is ready
to be your partner
in meeting your
One-stops
accessibility needs.
The EnableMart
All-Access
Workstation for
One-Stops
program is designed
to meet the growing
need for "total
solution packages."
By ensuring
universal design and
a variety of access
solutions and
training, these
workstations
appropriately bring
computer access to
individuals with
special needs and
age-related
challenges.
Accessibility
Requirements
The US Department of
Labor (USDOL) provides a
comprehensive guide to
ensuring accessibility
at One-Stop centers.
The EnableMart
All-Access Workstation
for One-Stops provides
all the tools
recommended by the USDOL.
One-Stop systems need to
be proactive in meeting
the needs of individuals
with disabilities. It
is not enough for
One-Stops to simply
respond to requests for
assistance and
accommodations. It is
up to One-Stops to
anticipate the needs of
individuals with various
physical, mental, and
sensory disabilities. We
will walk you through
extensive check lists
provided by the USDOL to
make sure that your
services are accessible
to people with
disabilities in terms of
both physical
accessibility and
service delivery. The
following links contain

accessibility

Assessing Your Needs
Building the capacity of
your One-Stop to include
individuals with
disabilities can be a
challenge. Whether you
are starting from
scratch or upgrading
your current
workstations, we can
help you determine the
needs of your center. We
will help you guarantee
that all the basic
functions of your
facility are accessible
to individuals with
disabilities. We have
the experience of
assisting over 100
One-Stop career centers
with their accessibility
projects and we are
happy to share what
we've learned. Contact
our
One-Stop Specialist

needs of your facility.

All-Access Workstation
Components
The All-Access
Workstation for
One-Stops will help you
serve patrons who have
challenges with vision,
hearing, learning,
communication and
mobility. There are many
software and hardware
components to each
workstation, so we divided them into
categories and highlighted some of our favorite selections. Of course, individuals have different needs and we would be happy to customize a One-Stop tailored to the unique user. For
additional information
on each product follow
the provided links, or call our team at 888-640-1999.
EnableMart takes
pride in the service
and support our
staff has to offer.
The following are
just a few of the
benefits that come
with using
EnableMart as your
assistive technology
provider. We look
forward to doing
business with you.
1. Time.
An EnableMart
All-Access
Workstation will
save you time
and energy by
solving all
design and
compatibility
issues before
installation,
ensuring that
you are spending
time enhancing
the experience
of your patrons,
not struggling
with your new
AT.
2. Money.
By allowing
EnableMart to
custom build
your workstation
and
appropriately
bundle the
assistive
technology, you
will receive
greater
discounts than
in any other
situation. We
are proud to
offer industry
low prices and a
well trained
team who will
ensure that you
receive optimal
discounts.
3. Technical
Support.
Assistive
technology is a
fairly new field
and the average
computer
technician often
lacks the
complete and
proper training
of the support
required for
your
workstation. We
have years of
experience in
building,
training, and
supporting our
All-Access
Workstations.
With this
technical
background and
AT expertise, we
strive to offer
the best
services
available in the
industry. Your
All-Access
Workstation
package can
include on-site
training and is
always
accompanied by 2
years of free
telephone and
email support.
4. Delivery
and
Installation.
Each workstation
is assembled and
tested for AT
compatibility
and quality
assurance
on-site at your
One-Stop or at
EnableMart. In
addition to this
service,
EnableMart
provides
necessary
training to
ensure that you
are able to
maximize the
features offered
by your AT.
5. No
Headaches.
With the
knowledge and
understanding of
the EnableMart
team, you can be
assured that an
EnableMart
Workstation
means no
headaches for
your librarys
team. We have
strived to make
all necessary
information
available to
you. However, if
you find you
need additional
information our
team is always
ready to assist
you in your
search.
The All-Access
Workstation is the
complete workstation
solution. The system
is set up to provide
universally
accessible
technology, to
ensure that
One-stops can assist
those with a wide
range of
age-related,
physical, and
cognitive
disabilities. This
workstation is 100%
customizable to meet
all the needs of
your One-stop.
Six Step Approach
1. Needs
Assessment.
The first step
in creating an
accessible
One-stop is
determining the
needs of your
patrons. By
conducting a
needs assessment
of your
One-stops
patrons, you
will be able to
determine the
exact needs to
be fulfilled.
2.
Workstation
Design.
The EnableMart
team has come
together to
create the most
user-friendly
and efficient
All-Access
Workstation to
ensure that your
One-stops needs
are met. The
products listed
above have been
hand-picked for
you to use as a
reference guide.
As this is not a
complete list of
possibilities,
we are happy to
supply you with
any additional
product
information you
may need. This
list has been
designed to
provide you with
a well-rounded,
cost-effective
starting point
in designing
your All-Access
Workstation.
3.
Workstation
Installation.
Once the proper
products have
been selected
for your custom
All-Access
Workstation, the
installation
process begins.
First, the
perfect location
is chosen for
your new
all-access
workstation.
Next, a trained
professional
assembles your
workstation,
installing all
software and
hardware onto
the computer
system to ensure
compatibility
between all
components.
4. Staff and
Patron Training.
Understanding
how your new AT
works is of the
utmost
importance, and
that is why
EnableMart
offers hands-on
staff training.
Our staff also
assists you in
identifying who
is best served
by each product.
After each
employee has had
a chance to work
with the
trainer, you
will be left
with a Quick
Reference Binder
that will assist
you with any
future questions
or
troubleshooting
needs. Your
staff is free to
invite any
community or
One-stop staff
members to
experience this
training
opportunity.
5.
Workstation
Marketing.
Now that your
One-stop has
achieved its
accessibility
goals, it is
important that
the community be
informed of the
new services you
have to offer.
There are many
ways to spread
the word about
your All-Access
Workstation and
EnableMart is
here to help. We
can suggest
community
organizations to
notify and
assist you in
writing a press
release for
local newspapers
and your
website.
6.
Workstation
Support.
EnableMart knows
that AT can be
difficult for
new users and
that sometimes
problems arise.
That is why we
offer free and
complete
technical
support on your
All-Access
Workstation via
telephone and
email. We also
offer all
manufacturer
software
maintenance
agreements and
Upgrades to
ensure that your
software stays
up to date.
We are
happy to
provide
you with
all the
information
you need
to make
informed
decisions
with
regards
to your
Assistive
Technology.

facility.
We look

assisting
you!
