On October 27, 2020, OTS Accessibility and TU’s Accessibility Special Interest Group held a special virtual event as part of the TU Accessibility Showcase. OTS Digital Accessibility Analyst Brent Davis hosted a conversation with Ross Minor to learn how he uses how assistive technology to play video games, about his experiences in academia, and Paralympic training. Ross also shares his life story, explains how accessibility affects us all, and how we can be better at making sure everyone has equal opportunities.
