Computer / Electronics Accommodations Program (CAP)

CAP's mission is to ensure that people with disabilities and wounded Service
members have equal access to the information environment and opportunities in
the Department of Defense (DoD) and throughout the Federal government. By
fulfilling this mission of providing real solutions for real needs, CAP is
helping to make the Federal government the model employer for people with
disabilities.

The CAP website lists commonly requested accommodation solutions under five
disability categories: Blind/Low Vision, Cognitive, Communication, Deaf/Hard
of Hearing, and Dexterity. Under each category individuals can browse the
different types of accommodations commonly provided by CAP. Each piece of
technology offers a short description as well as guidance on how long it
typically can take for an individual to receive the items once CAP places an
order for the technology with the vendor.

CAP offers several ways to learn about the assistive technologies available
to improve an individual’s capabilities. Whether through a needs assessment,
a demonstration video, or by browsing the CAP website, CAP has resources
available to provide information on technologies that can be used to
maintain, increase, or improve a person’s ability to perform on the job. CAP
accommodates people with all types of disabilities, including both apparent
physical disabilities as well as hidden cognitive disabilities.
