Daniel Berkowitz is the Co-Founder and the CEO of Digilife Media, LLC. Dann has dedicated himself and his company to developing the finest accessible digital versions of print based materials (E-Text) for institutions and corporations that support the needs of clients and consumers with print based disabilities.
As a noted figure in the field of accessible electronic text production and research in the realm of postsecondary education, Dann has worked with college students and others with disabilities for nearly fifteen years and has specialized in supporting individuals with disabilities and other conditions that preclude them from accessing the printed word in 'traditional' hard-copy and digital formats. This includes individuals with blindness, low-vision, cognitive learning disabilities, psychiatric issues, mobility impairments, and chronic medical conditions.
Dann is speaker and educator spreading the good word of accessible text through conferences such as CSUN, Accessing Higher Ground, NERCOMP (Educause), NASPA, and both National and Regional affiliates of the Association on Higher Education and Disability. Dann has also guest lectured and led workshops on this topic at Boston University, Tufts University, Babson College, Landmark College, Emerson College, Fitchburg State College, and other regional and community colleges throughout New England.
Dann is presently working towards his Doctorate of Education in Special Education through the Boston University School of Education.
