Adam Amick has a Bluetooth-enabled microphone to help with his hearing loss and an iPad that can store many of his heavy textbooks so he doesn't have to carry them around.
"It levels the playing field," Amick said of technology. "It allows people with disabilities to adapt to their environment and be treated like everybody else."
Amick, a Chesapeake resident, is a 19-year-old sophomore at Virginia Wesleyan College who has cerebral palsy. On Tuesday, he attended an adaptive technology fair at the Norfolk Waterside Marriott as part of the Virginia Transition Forum.
The forum, put on by the state rehabilitation services and education departments, is designed to help students with disabilities prepare for life beyond high school. More than 1,000 people across the state registered for the event.
