 CAP CONCEPT:

The Community Access Program (CAP) is a federal government initiative administered by Industry Canada. It provides support for public computer access to the Information Highway via the Internet at the local community level. The overall objective is to provide all Canadians with affordable, convenient access to the global knowledge-based economy and the opportunity to use its technologies.

Canada has a strong base on which to build access links to the global, knowledge-based economy. In collaboration with provincial, territorial and municipal governments, the private sector and not-for-profit organizations, CAP will help to establish up to 10 000 public Internet access sites in rural, remote and urban communities across Canada.
         
Assistive Technology (AT):
 

Assistive Technology includes any item, piece of equipment or system that is used to increase, maintain, or improve how a person performs some task of daily living. It provides new ways to assist both computer interaction and learning. Assistive Technology augments abilities and bypasses or compensates for a disability. Assistive Technology is any tool that makes a computer easier to see, hear and use.
