For nearly 40 years, the University of Wisconsin-Madison Trace Research and Development Center has developed technology used around the world, with the goal of making technology accessible to as many people as possible, no matter their age or disability.
The effort that began in the early 1970s by a group of UW-Madison engineering students has grown into a center with a worldwide impact.
The goal then was to help a child with cerebral palsy communicate better.
Today, the work is having a broad impact on the lives of people with disabilities and the elderly worldwide.
